Introduction to FGT_3000D-v7.4.0.F-build2360-FORTINET.out Software
This firmware delivers FortiOS 7.4.0 for the FortiGate 3000D Series, a hyperscale firewall platform designed for enterprise data centers requiring 99.9% threat detection accuracy with 400 Gbps throughput. Released in Q1 2025, build 2360 resolves 15 critical CVEs while introducing hardware-accelerated AI threat analysis and quantum-safe VPN capabilities. The 3000D series targets organizations managing over 50,000 concurrent SSL/TLS sessions with 40GE/100GE interface demands.
Compatibility extends to FG-3000D and FG-3000D-POE hardware models running FortiOS 7.2+, specifically optimized for environments requiring uninterrupted IPS inspection under full traffic load. The update addresses vulnerabilities including CVE-2025-XXXX (SSL-VPN session hijacking) identified in Fortinet’s Q4 2024 security advisories.
