Introduction to FGT_3800D-v7.0.5-build0304-FORTINET.out Software
The FGT_3800D-v7.0.5-build0304-FORTINET.out firmware delivers enterprise-grade security enhancements for FortiGate 3800D next-generation firewalls, released on March 15, 2025 under FortiOS 7.0.5. Designed for hyperscale data center deployments, this build introduces quantum-resistant encryption protocols and AI-driven threat intelligence while maintaining 200 Gbps threat prevention throughput.
Exclusive to FortiGate 3800D appliances – a 4U chassis system supporting 400G interfaces – this firmware enables seamless integration with Fortinet’s Security Fabric ecosystem, including FortiManager 7.4.5+ for centralized policy orchestration and FortiAnalyzer 7.2.3+ for predictive log analytics.
