​​Introduction to FGT_1801F-v7.0.10.M-build0450-FORTINET.out.zip​​

This firmware release delivers FortiOS 7.0.10.M for FortiGate 1801F enterprise firewalls, specifically addressing hybrid cloud security demands with enhanced Zero Trust integration. Designed for distributed enterprise networks, build 0450 introduces adaptive threat intelligence sharing between SD-WAN nodes and improved cross-platform policy synchronization.

The update targets hardware-accelerated threat prevention for financial institutions and healthcare providers requiring FIPS 140-3 Level 2 compliance. Compatible with FortiGate 1800F series appliances, this version requires minimum 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD for optimal operation with 150+ VDOM configurations.
