Introduction to FGT_3000D-v7.2.4.F-build1396-FORTINET.out.zip
This critical firmware release (build 1396) for FortiGate 3000D series appliances addresses 12 CVEs under FortiOS 7.2.4.F framework, including high-severity vulnerabilities in SSL-VPN and SD-WAN modules. Designed for hyperscale data centers requiring 100Gbps+ threat prevention throughput, it introduces hardware-accelerated TLS/SSL inspection optimizations while maintaining backward compatibility with FortiOS 7.2.x configurations. Released on May 16, 2025, this update enhances enterprise network security through NP7 ASIC-driven threat detection and quantum-resistant encryption protocols.
Core Security and Performance Enhancements
