Introduction to FGT_140E_POE-v7.0.8.F-build0418-FORTINET.out

This firmware update delivers FortiOS 7.0.8 Feature Release for FortiGate 140E-POE devices, specifically engineered for enterprise networks requiring Power over Ethernet (PoE) infrastructure hardening. Released on May 10, 2025 (build 0418), it addresses 14 critical vulnerabilities while introducing enhanced SD-WAN orchestration capabilities for distributed office deployments. Compatible exclusively with FG-140E-POE hardware, this version achieves 20% faster threat detection throughput compared to FortiOS 7.0.7.

The update supports organizations managing IP surveillance systems, VoIP networks, and wireless access points through its 24 PoE+ ports. Backward compatibility extends to FortiOS 7.0.6 configurations, though downgrades from 7.2.x require full hardware reset.
