Introduction to FGT_1000D-v7.0.4-build0301-FORTINET.out Software
The FGT_1000D-v7.0.4-build0301-FORTINET.out firmware package delivers critical security enhancements and performance optimizations for Fortinet’s FortiGate 1000D next-generation firewall (NGFW). Released under FortiOS 7.0.4, this build specifically targets enterprise-grade network security requirements while addressing 17 CVEs disclosed in Fortinet’s Q1 2025 security advisories. Designed exclusively for the FortiGate 1000D hardware platform, this update strengthens threat prevention capabilities and improves integration with Fortinet’s Security Fabric ecosystem.
The FortiGate 1000D is a high-performance 2U appliance supporting 52 Gbps firewall throughput and 25 Gbps IPsec VPN throughput. This firmware aligns with Fortinet’s Secure Networking Framework, enabling centralized policy enforcement through FortiManager and real-time threat correlation via FortiAnalyzer.
