​​Introduction to FGT_2000E-v7.0.14.M-build0601-FORTINET.out​​

This firmware package delivers FortiOS 7.0.14.M for FortiGate 2000E series next-generation firewalls, designed for hyperscale enterprise networks requiring 200 Gbps+ threat inspection throughput. Released on May 15, 2025 (build 0601), it introduces hardware-accelerated TLS 1.3 decryption and quantum-resistant VPN capabilities while resolving 6 critical CVEs identified in previous 7.0.x releases.

The 2000E series appliances natively support this firmware update, featuring quad NP7 security processing units capable of handling 50 million concurrent connections. It integrates with FortiManager 7.6.5+ for multi-vDOM policy synchronization and FortiAnalyzer 7.4.9+ for cross-platform log correlation.
