Introduction to FGT_1801F-v7.0.15.M-build0632-FORTINET.out
This firmware package delivers critical infrastructure protection updates for Fortinet’s high-performance FortiGate 1801F Next-Generation Firewall series, designed for hyperscale enterprise networks requiring 100Gbps+ threat inspection throughput. The 7.0.15.M build specifically addresses 15 CVEs disclosed in FortiOS 7.0.x branches while introducing hardware-specific optimizations for the NP7XLite security processing ASIC.
Validated for production deployment on 2025-05-01, this release enhances compatibility with FortiManager 7.4.6+ for centralized policy orchestration and FortiAnalyzer 7.2.10+ for real-time log correlation. The update package includes mandatory security patches required under NIST SP 800-53 Rev.6 compliance frameworks.
