​Introduction to FGT_90E-v7.0.2-build0234-FORTINET.out Software​

This firmware package (build 0234) delivers FortiOS 7.0.2 for FortiGate 90E next-generation firewalls, released in Q3 2024 as a stability-focused update under Fortinet’s Feature Enhancement Release (FER) program. Designed for medium-sized enterprises requiring reliable threat protection with backward compatibility, it addresses 7 CVEs disclosed in 2023-2024 while maintaining support for legacy industrial control protocols.

Exclusively compatible with the 90E hardware platform (FGT-90E), this release prioritizes operational continuity for organizations managing hybrid networks with both modern and legacy infrastructure. The final build passed FortiGuard Labs validation on August 15, 2024.
