Introduction to FGT_101F-v7.0.11.M-build0489-FORTINET.out.zip

This mature (M) branch firmware delivers critical stability enhancements and security patches for FortiGate 101F series next-generation firewalls, specifically addressing 15 CVEs disclosed in Q4 2024 while maintaining PCI-DSS 4.0 and NIST 800-218 compliance. As part of FortiOS 7.0.11’s lifecycle management, it introduces hardware-accelerated TLS 1.3 decryption capabilities for enterprises requiring <25ms latency in encrypted traffic inspection.

Compatible with FG-101F/101F-3G4G/101F-POE hardware variants, this build achieves 32% faster SSL-VPN throughput compared to v7.0.10 while reducing memory utilization by 18% during peak DDoS mitigation scenarios.
