Introduction to FGT_200E-v7.0.15.M-build0632-FORTINET.out
The FGT_200E-v7.0.15.M-build0632-FORTINET.out firmware is a maintenance release for Fortinet’s FortiGate 200E next-generation firewall, specifically optimized for enterprise edge networks and high-density branch deployments. As part of the FortiOS 7.0.15 series, this build focuses on addressing critical vulnerabilities while enhancing SD-WAN performance for hybrid cloud architectures.
The “M-build” designation confirms this version prioritizes mandatory security updates rather than feature additions. It maintains backward compatibility with FortiOS 7.0.x configurations but requires hardware validation for environments using deprecated 6.4.x policies.
