Introduction to FGT_901G-v7.4.2.F-build2571-FORTINET.out

This enterprise-grade firmware update delivers mission-critical security patches and operational optimizations for FortiGate 901G next-generation firewalls under FortiOS 7.4.2. Released as part of Fortinet’s Q2 2025 security update cycle, this build resolves 31 documented vulnerabilities while introducing enhanced telemetry capabilities for hybrid cloud environments.

Exclusively compatible with FortiGate 901G appliances (FG-901G models), the firmware addresses memory leaks in deep packet inspection services and improves threat detection accuracy by 27% compared to v7.4.1. Network architects should prioritize deployment before September 2025 to meet updated ISO 27001:2025 compliance requirements.
