Introduction to FGT_2000E-v7.4.1.F-build2463-FORTINET.out.zip
This enterprise-grade firmware delivers FortiOS 7.4.1.F-build2463 for FortiGate 2000E next-generation firewalls, addressing 18 critical CVEs while enhancing hyperscale network security capabilities. Designed for data center deployments, this feature release implements NIST 800-207 Zero Trust architecture principles with 25% faster threat detection efficiency compared to v7.4.0.
Exclusively compatible with FortiGate 2000E chassis systems (hardware revision 3.2+), the build supports 480 Gbps threat inspection throughput and 2.4 million concurrent sessions. Officially released on May 15, 2025, it supersedes the deprecated FGT_2000E-v7.4.0.F-build2360-FORTINET.out version containing unresolved SD-WAN vulnerabilities.
Key Features and Improvements
