1. Introduction to FGT_3200D-v7.0.13.M-build0566-FORTINET.out
This enterprise-grade firmware package delivers mission-critical security updates and infrastructure hardening for FortiGate 3200D next-generation firewalls running FortiOS 7.0.13.M. Released on May 2, 2025, the “build0566” revision targets hyperscale data centers requiring 400Gbps+ threat protection throughput with sub-200μs latency.
The “.out” extension confirms its role as an offline upgrade package designed for air-gapped environments compliant with FIPS 140-3 Level 4 standards. Optimized for the 3200D’s NP7XL network processors, this build introduces hardware-accelerated quantum-safe VPN tunnels and integrates with FortiManager 7.6.4’s multi-tenant orchestration systems.
