Introduction to FGT_200F-v7.0.15.M-build0632-FORTINET.out.zip
This firmware delivers FortiOS 7.0.15 M-Series enhancements for FortiGate 200F next-generation firewalls, designed for enterprise branch offices requiring hardware-accelerated threat prevention with SSL/TLS 1.3 inspection capabilities. Released in Q2 2025, build0632 addresses critical vulnerabilities disclosed in Fortinet’s Q1 2025 security advisories while optimizing traffic processing for SD-WAN deployments.
The update targets FortiGate 200F series appliances leveraging their NP7 security processing unit, achieving 12 Gbps threat inspection throughput with full UTM activation. Backward compatibility with FortiOS 7.0.x configurations is maintained, including support for multi-VDOM management via FortiManager Cloud.
