1. Introduction to FGT_1000F-v7.4.3.F-build2573-FORTINET.out Software

This mission-critical firmware update (build 2573) delivers advanced threat prevention capabilities for Fortinet’s enterprise-grade 1000F Next-Generation Firewall platform. Designed for large-scale corporate networks and service providers, the update introduces hardware-accelerated TLS 1.3 inspection at 200Gbps throughput while resolving 18 CVEs identified through FortiGuard Labs’ global threat intelligence network.

The 1000F chassis now supports 400Gbps threat prevention throughput using Fortinet’s 6th-generation NP6 Security Processing Units (SPUs), making it suitable for hyperscale SD-WAN implementations and 5G network security. This release specifically targets organizations requiring compliance with ISO 27001:2025 standards and supports 100,000 concurrent SSL-VPN tunnels with 95% hardware offloading efficiency.
