Introduction to FGT_4400F-v7.0.11.M-build0489-FORTINET.out

This firmware release (​​FGT_4400F-v7.0.11.M-build0489-FORTINET.out​​) delivers enterprise-grade security enhancements for FortiGate 4400F hyperscale firewalls, optimized for data centers and service providers requiring 100Gbps+ threat prevention. Released under Fortinet’s Q1 2025 security advisory cycle, it addresses 9 CVEs while introducing hardware-accelerated TLS 1.3 inspection and advanced DDoS mitigation capabilities. Compatible exclusively with FortiGate 4400F chassis, this build requires FortiOS 7.0.11 as a baseline and supports hyperscale network segmentation for cloud-native environments.
