Introduction to FGT_3001F-v7.4.0.F-build2360-FORTINET.out.zip
The FGT_3001F-v7.4.0.F-build2360-FORTINET.out.zip firmware package delivers enterprise-grade security enhancements for Fortinet’s hyperscale FortiGate 3001F next-generation firewalls. Released under FortiOS 7.4.0 feature branch (build 2360), this version resolves 19 documented vulnerabilities while improving threat inspection throughput by 35% compared to previous 7.2.x releases.
Optimized for data center environments handling 400Gbps+ encrypted traffic, this update introduces hardware-accelerated Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) 2.1 support and quantum-resistant cryptographic pre-validation. Compatible with FortiGate 3001F appliances running FortiOS 7.2.9 or later, mandatory installation is recommended before Q3 2026 to meet ISO 27001:2025 compliance requirements.
