Introduction to FGT_2200E-v7.4.0.F-build2360-FORTINET.out.zip

This firmware package delivers FortiOS 7.4.0.F for FortiGate 2200E series next-generation firewalls, engineered to address advanced security and performance requirements in hyperscale enterprise networks. Released under Fortinet’s Q3 2025 security update cycle (build 2360), this version introduces hardware-accelerated threat prevention enhancements and expanded cloud-native integrations.

Specifically optimized for the 2200E hardware platform’s NP7 and CP9 processors, the firmware improves encrypted traffic inspection efficiency while maintaining backward compatibility with hybrid SD-WAN architectures. Network architects managing data center deployments will benefit from its upgraded TLS 1.3 support and refined automation capabilities.
