Introduction to FGT_1100E-v7.0.10.M-build0450-FORTINET.out
This firmware package delivers FortiOS 7.0.10.M Build 0450 for FortiGate 1100E enterprise firewalls, designed to enhance multi-cloud security operations while addressing critical vulnerabilities. Released under Fortinet’s Q4 2024 Security Fabric updates, this build targets large-scale data center deployments requiring 25 Gbps threat protection throughput and zero-trust network access (ZTNA) capabilities.
The FortiGate 1100E model supports 40x GE SFP28 slots with 800 Gbps switching capacity, making this firmware essential for organizations managing hybrid infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and VMware environments. Validated through Fortinet’s TSP (Technical Service Provider) program, the build is accessible via the Fortinet Support Portal with active FortiCare Enterprise licenses.
