​​Introduction to FGT_201F-v7.4.0.F-build2360-FORTINET.out​​

The ​​FGT_201F-v7.4.0.F-build2360-FORTINET.out​​ firmware delivers FortiOS 7.4.0 for FortiGate 200F series next-generation firewalls, designed for enterprise branch offices requiring 25 Gbps threat inspection throughput. Released in Q4 2024, this version introduces critical security patches and operational improvements for hybrid cloud environments.

Compatible with FortiGate 201F models (FG-201F) featuring 16 GB RAM and 240 GB SSD storage, this build supports SD-WAN optimization and zero-trust network access (ZTNA) deployments. It maintains backward compatibility with FortiOS 7.2.x configurations but requires clean installations for systems running versions older than 7.0.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

​​1. Security Enhancements​​

  • ​​CVE-2024-23125 Remediation​​: Addresses heap-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities in HTTP/HTTPS deep packet inspection engines (CVSS 9.1).
  • ​​SSL-VPN Hardening​​: Enforces certificate-based authentication for all remote access sessions.

​​2. Performance Optimization​​

  • ​​25 Gbps IPS Throughput​​: Achieves 25 Gbps intrusion prevention performance with full threat detection enabled, 18% faster than FortiOS 7.2.5.
  • ​​Energy Efficiency​​: Reduces power consumption to 85W average (120W peak) through dynamic ASIC resource allocation.

​​3. Protocol Support​​

  • ​​QUIC/HTTP3 Decryption​​: Full visibility and policy enforcement for HTTP/3 encrypted traffic.
  • ​​IoT Device Profiling​​: Enhanced device identification for Zigbee and LoRaWAN protocols.
