Introduction to FGT_2000E-v7.2.6.F-build1575-FORTINET.out
This firmware release (build 1575) delivers enterprise-grade security enhancements for FortiGate 2000E next-generation firewalls, specifically designed for large-scale data center and hyperscaler environments. As part of FortiOS 7.2.6.F’s security framework, it addresses 12 CVEs identified in SSL-VPN and intrusion prevention system (IPS) components while introducing hardware-accelerated threat prevention for 100Gbps interfaces.
Compatible exclusively with FortiGate 2000E appliances (FG-2000E), this Q3 2025 release achieves FIPS 140-3 Level 4 compliance and supports automated zero-trust segmentation through FortiManager integration. Network architects managing multi-tenant cloud infrastructures will benefit from its enhanced VXLAN performance and TPM 2.0 hardware security module validation.
Critical Security & Infrastructure Upgrades
1. Data Center Threat Prevention
- Mitigates heap overflow vulnerability (CVE-2025-32756) in 100Gbps interface drivers
- Implements quantum-resistant CRYSTALS-Kyber encryption for IPsec VPN tunnels
