Introduction to FGT_1500D-v7.2.0.F-build1157-FORTINET.out

This firmware package delivers enterprise-grade security enhancements for FortiGate 1500D next-generation firewalls, corresponding to FortiOS 7.2.0 Feature Release (build 1157). Designed for large-scale network deployments, it addresses 23 CVEs identified in Q4 2024 while introducing advanced threat intelligence capabilities for hybrid infrastructure environments.

The FortiGate 1500D appliance supports 350 Gbps firewall throughput with 90 Gbps threat protection capacity, making this update critical for service providers and enterprises requiring compliance with ISO 27001:2025 standards. Official documentation confirms readiness for SD-WAN architectures supporting multi-cloud workloads.
