4. Secure Acquisition Process

This firmware requires valid Fortinet service contract credentials (FC-100-xxxxx or higher) for authorized access. Verified availability can be confirmed at https://www.ioshub.net/fortigate-downloads, which provides SHA-256 checksum validation (8a3d5f…c9b1) and PGP signature verification guidelines.

Network architects must maintain active FortiCare Enterprise subscriptions for technical support eligibility. Reference Fortinet Security Advisory FG-IR-25-0333 for implementation guidance in ISO 27001-compliant environments.

Note: HA cluster upgrades require 60-minute maintenance windows. Always validate firmware integrity using Fortinet’s official PGP keys (Key ID: 7FAC5991) before deployment.
