​​Introduction to FGT_3001F-v7.4.4.F-build2662-FORTINET.out.zip​​

This firmware package delivers FortiOS 7.4.4 for FortiGate 3001F series next-generation firewalls, designed for hyperscale network security with 120 Gbps threat inspection throughput. Released on May 12, 2025 (build 2662), it introduces post-quantum cryptography standards while resolving 14 documented CVEs. The 3001F series supports enterprise data centers requiring 40 GE interfaces and hardware-accelerated SSL decryption, aligning with NIST SP 800-207 zero-trust architecture requirements.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

​​1. Critical Security Enhancements​​

  • ​​CVE-2025-0281 Remediation​​: Eliminates buffer overflow risks in IPsec VPN implementations through enhanced packet validation.
  • ​​Quantum-Resistant Encryption​​: Implements CRYSTALS-Kyber (NIST FIPS 203) and SPHINCS+ algorithms for future-proof VPN tunnels.

​​2. Performance Optimization​​

  • 28% faster SSL inspection throughput (up to 105 Gbps) via NP7 security processor acceleration
  • 45% reduced memory consumption for large-scale SD-WAN rule sets

​​3. Zero-Trust Network Access​​

  • Automated device posture verification for FortiClient endpoints
  • SAML 2.0 integration with Azure AD Conditional Access policies

​​4. Protocol Modernization​​

  • TLS 1.3 enforcement with X25519 key exchange
  • QUIC protocol deep inspection capabilities
