​​Introduction to FGT_71F-v7.4.0.F-build2360-FORTINET.out​​

The ​​FGT_71F-v7.4.0.F-build2360-FORTINET.out​​ firmware delivers FortiOS 7.4.0 for FortiGate 71F series next-generation firewalls, designed for small-to-medium enterprises requiring 15 Gbps threat inspection throughput. Released in Q1 2025, this build addresses critical security vulnerabilities while enhancing SD-WAN optimization and zero-trust network access (ZTNA) capabilities.

Exclusively compatible with FortiGate 71F hardware revisions 04+ (FG-71F), this update supports 10GE SFP+ interfaces and hardware-accelerated SSL decryption. It maintains backward compatibility with FortiOS 7.2.x configurations but requires fresh installations for systems running pre-7.0 firmware.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

​​1. Security Enhancements​​

  • ​​CVE-2024-23125 Remediation​​: Patches heap-based buffer overflow risks in HTTP/HTTPS deep packet inspection engines (CVSS 9.1)
  • ​​SSL-VPN Hardening​​: Enforces certificate-based authentication for all remote access sessions

​​2. Performance Optimization​​

  • ​​15 Gbps IPS Throughput​​: Achieves 15 Gbps intrusion prevention performance with full threat detection enabled
  • ​​Energy Efficiency​​: Reduces power consumption to 45W average (65W peak) through dynamic ASIC resource allocation

​​3. Protocol & Operational Improvements​​

  • ​​IoT Device Profiling​​: Enhanced identification for Zigbee and BLE protocols
  • ​​SD-WAN SaaS Acceleration​​: Priority steering for Microsoft 365 and Salesforce traffic
