Introduction to FGT_3100D-v7.4.4.F-build2662-FORTINET.out Software

This firmware package delivers Fortinet’s FortiOS 7.4.4 Feature Release for 3100D series next-generation firewalls, specifically engineered for enterprise-edge deployments requiring 320Gbps threat protection throughput. As a critical maintenance update, it resolves 12 CVEs identified in FortiOS 7.4.3 while introducing enhanced SD-WAN orchestration capabilities.

Certified for deployment in financial services and healthcare sectors, this build (2662) became generally available on March 15, 2025 through Fortinet’s firmware distribution channels. It maintains backward compatibility with configurations from FortiOS 7.2.x/7.0.x through automated migration tools.
