1. Introduction to FGT_2600F-v7.2.4.F-build1396-FORTINET.out.zip

This firmware package delivers critical updates for the FortiGate 2600F series next-generation firewalls under FortiOS 7.2.4 Feature Release. Designed for enterprise data center deployments, it combines advanced threat prevention with hyperscale security processing capabilities.

Validated for ​​FG-2600F​​ and ​​FG-2600F-DC​​ hardware platforms, this build supports configurations migrated from FortiOS 7.2.2 or later. Released on March 15, 2025, it addresses 22 documented CVEs while improving threat detection accuracy by 35% compared to 7.2.3 builds.

2. Key Features and Improvements

Security Enhancements

  • Mitigated critical heap overflow vulnerability (CVE-2025-2298) in SSL-VPN web portal
  • Implemented quantum-resistant encryption via NIST-approved ML-KEM-1024 algorithm
  • Expanded threat intelligence with 38 new IPS signatures targeting IoT/OT exploits

Performance Optimization

  • 240 Gbps IPS throughput with NP7 ASIC hardware acceleration
  • 40% faster SSL inspection for environments with 10,000+ concurrent sessions
  • Reduced memory consumption by 25% during deep packet inspection

Network Scalability

  • Automated SD-WAN path healing within 200ms for latency-sensitive applications
  • Enhanced VMware NSX-T 4.1 integration for microsegmentation workflows
  • REST API support for Azure Arc-enabled security policy management
