​​Introduction to FGT_140E-v7.4.1.F-build2463-FORTINET.out​​

The ​​FGT_140E-v7.4.1.F-build2463-FORTINET.out​​ firmware delivers FortiOS 7.4.1 for FortiGate 140E series next-generation firewalls, optimized for enterprise branch offices requiring 25 Gbps threat inspection throughput. Released in Q1 2025, this version addresses critical vulnerabilities like CVE-2024-21762 while enhancing SD-WAN optimization and IoT security capabilities.

Designed for FortiGate 140E models (FG-140E) with 16 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD storage, this build supports 10GE SFP+ interfaces and integrates with Fortinet’s Security Fabric ecosystem. It maintains backward compatibility with FortiOS 7.2.x configurations but requires fresh installations for systems running versions older than 7.0.
