Introduction to FGT_300E-v7.0.7.F-build0367-FORTINET.out.zip

This firmware package delivers critical security patches and operational enhancements for FortiGate 300E Series firewalls operating on FortiOS 7.0.7.F. Designed for mid-sized enterprise networks, Build 0367 resolves 4 high-severity vulnerabilities while optimizing resource allocation for environments requiring FIPS 140-3 Level 2 compliance.

Compatible exclusively with FortiGate 300E hardware appliances (FG-300E), this maintenance release requires FortiOS 7.0.4 or later as a baseline. The “F” designation confirms adherence to U.S. federal cryptographic standards, making it suitable for government contractors and regulated industries.
