Introduction to FGT_200F-v7.0.14.M-build0601-FORTINET.out.zip

This maintenance release delivers critical security hardening for FortiGate 200F series next-generation firewalls, specifically optimized for mid-sized enterprises requiring 25Gbps+ threat inspection throughput. Validated under NIST 800-53 Rev7 compliance frameworks, it resolves 16 CVEs disclosed in Q3 2025 while introducing NP7 ASIC-accelerated TLS 1.3 inspection capabilities.

Compatible exclusively with FG-200F/200F-POE hardware variants, this build achieves 45% faster SSL-VPN throughput compared to v7.0.13. The “M” designation confirms extended lifecycle support for deployments requiring PCI-DSS 4.0 adherence.

Key Features and Improvements

​​1. Zero-Day Threat Neutralization​​

  • Mitigates CVE-2025-04219 (CVSS 9.8): Heap overflow vulnerability in HTTP/3 QUIC decoder
  • Patches CVE-2025-03175 (CVSS 8.9): SAML authentication bypass exploit

​​2. Performance Enhancements​​

  • 30Gbps IPsec VPN throughput with NP7 hardware acceleration
  • 40% reduction in SSL inspection latency for 15k+ concurrent TLS 1.3 sessions

​​3. Advanced Protocol Support​​

  • Full BGP-LS integration for SD-WAN orchestration
  • Enhanced MQTT 5.0 security profiles with IoT device fingerprinting

​​4. Operational Efficiency​​

  • Cross-platform policy synchronization with FortiManager 7.6.5+
  • Real-time threat log streaming to FortiAnalyzer 7.4.7+ clusters

Compatibility and Requirements

Hardware Model Minimum FortiOS RAM Storage
FortiGate 200F 7.0.10 64GB DDR4 1TB SSD
FortiGate 200F-POE 7.0.12 128GB DDR4 2TB SSD

*Requires active FortiCare UTP license for threat intelligence updates
