Introduction to FGT_60F-v7.2.0.F-build1157-FORTINET.out Software
This firmware delivers FortiOS 7.2.0’s inaugural feature set for FortiGate 60F series appliances, designed to enhance Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) capabilities while optimizing SD-WAN performance metrics. Targeting distributed enterprise edge networks, build 1157 introduces 23 security enhancements and 9 critical vulnerability patches validated through Fortinet’s Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT).
Specifically engineered for FG-60F hardware (P/N FG-60F-T1), this release supports 5 Gbps firewall throughput with full UTM inspection enabled. As part of FortiOS 7.2’s lifecycle, it maintains backward compatibility with configurations from 7.0.x branches while introducing mandatory security posture checks during policy compilation.
