1. Introduction to FGT_800D-v7.0.15.M-build0632-FORTINET.out
This maintenance release (build 0632) for FortiGate 800D hyperscale firewalls implements critical security hardening under FortiOS 7.0.15.M branch. Designed for enterprise data center deployments, it resolves 6 high-risk vulnerabilities identified in Fortinet’s Q2 2025 Threat Intelligence Report while optimizing threat prevention for networks handling 40Gbps+ encrypted traffic.
The firmware targets FG-800D devices equipped with NP7 network processors manufactured post-2023, requiring minimum 64GB RAM and existing FortiOS 7.0.12.M installations. It maintains compatibility with FortiManager 7.6.2 centralized management systems and complies with NIST SP 800-193 platform integrity requirements.
2. Key Features and Improvements
