Introduction to FGT_201E-v7.4.1.F-build2463-FORTINET.out.zip

This firmware package (build 2463) delivers critical security enhancements and network optimization for ​​FortiGate 201E​​ Next-Generation Firewalls, designed for branch offices requiring enterprise-level security with SD-WAN capabilities. Released on ​​May 15, 2025​​, it resolves 7 CVEs disclosed in Q1 2025 advisories while optimizing NP6lite ASIC performance for encrypted traffic inspection.

Compatible exclusively with ​​FortiGate 201E series​​ appliances (FG-201E, FG-201E-3G4G), this update improves SD-WAN application steering accuracy by 24% compared to FortiOS 7.4.0 builds. The firmware maintains backward compatibility with FortiManager 7.6.7+ management systems and introduces hardware-accelerated traffic prioritization for SaaS applications.


Key Features and Improvements
