Introduction to FGT_200F-v7.0.9.M-build0444-FORTINET.out

This firmware package delivers FortiOS 7.0.9 – a mission-critical update for the FortiGate 200F Next-Generation Firewall, designed for enterprise networks requiring 25Gbps+ threat protection throughput. Released under Fortinet’s Q2 2025 security maintenance program, build 0444 resolves 19 CVEs while introducing enhanced SD-WAN telemetry capabilities observed in previous versions like 7.0.7 and 7.0.8. The 200F model utilizes dual NP7 security processors, enabling SSL/TLS decryption at 15Gbps with flow-based inspection.

Compatible with FortiManager 7.4.10+ configurations, this release introduces automated policy optimization for networks managing over 1,000 concurrent VPN tunnels. Backward compatibility is maintained with configurations from FortiOS 7.0.6+ environments.
