Introduction to FGT_1000D-v7.4.4.F-build2662-FORTINET.out

The FGT_1000D-v7.4.4.F-build2662-FORTINET.out firmware package delivers enterprise-grade security enhancements for Fortinet’s 1000D series next-generation firewalls, designed for hyperscale data center deployments requiring 800Gbps+ threat inspection throughput. Released under FortiOS 7.4.4’s Q3 2025 security maintenance cycle, this build addresses 12 CVEs identified in Fortinet’s June 2025 security advisories, including vulnerabilities in TLS 1.3 session resumption protocols and VXLAN segmentation logic.

Optimized for environments with 100,000+ concurrent connections, this update supports FortiGate 1000D appliances configured with quad NP8 network processors. The build2662 revision introduces hardware-accelerated AI/ML threat detection for encrypted east-west traffic flows while improving resource allocation efficiency in multi-tenant architectures.
