Introduction to FGT_601E-v7.0.10.M-build0450-FORTINET.out

This firmware package delivers FortiOS 7.0.10.M Build 0450 for ​​FortiGate 601E​​ hyperscale firewalls, designed to address critical vulnerabilities disclosed in Fortinet’s Q2 2025 security advisories. Targeting enterprise networks requiring 100 Gbps threat inspection throughput, this build resolves CVE-2024-55591 authentication bypass risks while optimizing SSL-VPN performance for distributed workforces.

The FortiGate 601E model supports 24x 40GE QSFP28 ports with 1.5 Tbps firewall throughput, making this update mandatory for organizations handling sensitive data under GDPR/HIPAA compliance. Validated through Fortinet’s TSP (Technical Service Provider) program, the build is accessible via the Fortinet Support Portal with active FortiCare Enterprise licenses.
