Introduction to FGT_3700D-v7.4.0.F-build2360-FORTINET.out
This firmware package delivers FortiOS 7.4.0 for FortiGate 3700D next-generation firewalls, specifically engineered for hyperscale data center deployments requiring NIST 800-207 zero-trust compliance. Released in Q4 2024, build 2360 introduces hardware-accelerated threat prevention capabilities via Fortinet’s NP7 ASIC architecture, achieving 3.6x faster SSL inspection throughput compared to previous versions.
Designed exclusively for FortiGate 3700D chassis systems, this update supports 400G QSFP-DD interfaces and integrates with FortiManager 7.4.6 for centralized policy management. The firmware aligns with FIPS 140-3 Level 4 validation requirements, making it ideal for government agencies and financial institutions handling sensitive data.
