Introduction to FGT_3301E-v7.4.0.F-build2360-FORTINET.out.zip

This firmware package delivers FortiOS 7.4.0.F-build2360 for FortiGate 3301E next-generation firewalls, addressing 19 critical CVEs while introducing enhanced IoT security protocols. Designed for enterprise edge network deployments, this feature release implements NIST 800-207 Zero Trust architecture principles with 34% faster threat detection capabilities.

Exclusively compatible with FortiGate 3301E appliances (hardware revision 3.4+), the build supports 240 Gbps threat inspection throughput and 1.2 million concurrent sessions. Officially released on May 9, 2025, it replaces the deprecated FGT_3301E-v7.2.8.M-build1639-FORTINET.out version containing unresolved vulnerabilities in SD-WAN orchestration modules.
