​​Introduction to FGT_401F-v7.4.3.F-build2573-FORTINET.out​​

This firmware update delivers FortiOS 7.4.3 for FortiGate 400F series appliances, designed for enterprise-grade network security and hyperscale threat protection. Released on June 15, 2025, it resolves 22 documented vulnerabilities while introducing advanced AI-driven threat intelligence capabilities through FortiGuard Labs’ real-time analytics integration.

Optimized for the 400F platform with dual NP7XLite security processors, this build (2573) addresses memory allocation conflicts reported in 7.4.2 and maintains backward compatibility with configurations from FortiOS 7.2.7+. The update includes automated policy conversion tools for hybrid cloud environments and 5G network slicing deployments.
