Introduction to FGT_3700D-v7.2.6.F-build1575-FORTINET.out
This firmware release (build 1575) delivers hyperscale security updates for FortiGate 3700D next-generation firewalls, engineered for carrier-grade network environments requiring multi-terabit throughput. As part of FortiOS 7.2.6.F’s security architecture, it resolves 14 CVEs identified in SSL-VPN and deep packet inspection components while introducing hardware-accelerated threat prevention for 400Gbps interfaces.
Designed exclusively for FortiGate 3700D chassis (FG-3700D), this Q3 2025 release achieves FIPS 140-3 Level 4 validation and supports automated zero-trust segmentation through FortiManager Cloud integration. Network architects managing tier-4 data centers will benefit from its enhanced VXLAN performance and hardware security module (HSM) 2.3 compliance.
Critical Infrastructure Enhancements
1. Carrier-Grade Security
- Patches critical memory corruption vulnerability (CVE-2025-32756) in 400Gbps ASIC drivers
- Implements quantum-resistant CRYSTALS-Dilithium encryption for IPsec VPN tunnels
- Enhances FortiDeceptor integration with 53% faster lateral movement detection
2. Network Performance
- 41% throughput increase for 400Gbps ports using NP7XLite ASICs
- Reduces VXLAN encapsulation latency by 28ms in spine-leaf topologies
- Supports 48M concurrent sessions with dynamic memory allocation
3. Cloud-Scale Management
- Automated synchronization with AWS Transit Gateway & Google Cloud Interconnect
- Multi-cloud policy enforcement via Azure Arc integration
- Real-time topology mapping through FortiManager Cloud Dashboard
