​​Introduction to FGT_3300E-v7.0.10.M-build0450-FORTINET.out.zip​​

This firmware release delivers critical enhancements for Fortinet’s FortiGate 3300E series, designed for enterprise-grade network security and SD-WAN optimization. Released on February 7, 2025, version 7.0.10.M-build0450 aligns with Fortinet’s G-series hardware refresh strategy, focusing on unified threat prevention and energy-efficient operations.

The update targets organizations requiring high-throughput threat inspection (up to 1.2 Tbps firewall throughput) with integrated zero-trust network access (ZTNA) capabilities. Compatible exclusively with FortiGate 3300E appliances (model FG-3300E), it extends the platform’s lifecycle while maintaining backward compatibility with FortiOS 7.0.x management ecosystems.
