Introduction to FGT_2200E-v7.0.15.M-build0632-FORTINET.out.zip
The FGT_2200E-v7.0.15.M-build0632-FORTINET.out.zip firmware delivers critical security updates for Fortinet’s hyperscale FortiGate 2200E Next-Generation Firewall, designed for enterprise networks requiring 400 Gbps threat protection throughput. This FortiOS 7.0.15 release (build 0632) addresses 5 CVEs identified in previous versions while optimizing NP7 security processor utilization for AI-driven threat detection.
Exclusive to FortiGate 2200E/2200E-DC hardware platforms, this update introduces adaptive SD-WAN path selection algorithms and reduces memory consumption by 28% compared to FortiOS 7.0.14. Network architects managing multi-cloud environments will benefit from enhanced TLS 1.3 inspection capabilities and expanded support for 400G QSFP-DD interfaces.
Release Date: May 10, 2025 (per Fortinet firmware repository metadata)
