Introduction to FAZ_3000F-v7.2.4-build1460-FORTINET.out Software
FortiAnalyzer 3000F firmware version 7.2.4 (build 1460) delivers critical enhancements for large-scale security log management and compliance reporting. Designed for enterprises requiring centralized threat correlation across hybrid infrastructure, this Q2 2025 release introduces advanced forensic analysis tools and cross-platform integration capabilities.
The firmware specifically targets the FortiAnalyzer 3000F appliance, supporting log aggregation from up to 15,000 connected devices across Fortinet Security Fabric components. New GDPR/CCPA compliance templates enable automated data anonymization for audit trails, while enhanced API endpoints facilitate third-party SIEM integrations.
