Introduction to FGT_60F-v7.0.15.M-build0632-FORTINET.out
This firmware package delivers FortiOS 7.0.15 Maintenance Release (build 0632) for FortiGate 60F series firewalls, designed for small-to-medium enterprises requiring enterprise-grade security in compact form factors. Released under Fortinet’s Q2 2025 security update cycle, it addresses 11 documented CVEs while enhancing threat detection accuracy and VPN throughput. The update targets distributed offices, retail chains, and healthcare facilities requiring HIPAA-compliant network segmentation.
Compatible exclusively with FortiGate 60F appliances (FG-60F, FG-60F-POE), this mid-cycle (“M-build”) update follows Fortinet’s Security Fabric integration standards. Network administrators managing SD-Branch deployments or encrypted VoIP traffic should prioritize installation within 48 hours of release.
