Introduction to FGT_100F-v7.0.8.F-build0418-FORTINET.out

This firmware package delivers FortiOS 7.0.8 – a critical stability update for the FortiGate 100F appliance, specifically designed for enterprise branch offices requiring 5Gbps+ threat inspection throughput. Released under Fortinet’s Q2 2025 Extended Security Updates (ESU) program, build 0418 resolves 18 security vulnerabilities while introducing enhanced SD-WAN telemetry capabilities.

The FortiGate 100F (FG-100F) model utilizes NP6 network processors and CP9 content processors, making this firmware essential for environments requiring SSL/TLS decryption at 3.5Gbps. Compatible with FortiManager 7.4.8+ configurations, it introduces automated configuration backups for high-availability clusters.
