​​Introduction to FGT_101F-v7.4.4.F-build2662-FORTINET.out​​

This firmware delivers FortiOS 7.4.4 for FortiGate 100F series appliances, engineered for enterprise branch office security with enhanced 5G/LTE failover capabilities. Released on May 14, 2025, build 2662 resolves 19 documented vulnerabilities while introducing AI-driven threat intelligence integration from FortiGuard Labs’ real-time analytics platform.

Optimized for the 100F hardware platform with dual NP7 security processors, this update maintains backward compatibility with configurations from FortiOS 7.2.7+ and introduces automated policy migration tools for hybrid cloud environments. The firmware specifically enhances IoT device identification accuracy by 38% through machine learning pattern analysis.
