​​Introduction to FGT_60F-v7.4.0.F-build2360-FORTINET.out​​

The ​​FGT_60F-v7.4.0.F-build2360-FORTINET.out​​ firmware package delivers critical security and performance updates for Fortinet’s FortiGate 60F series, a compact next-generation firewall (NGFW) designed for small-to-medium businesses and branch offices. Released under FortiOS 7.4.0 in Q4 2024, this build addresses 9 CVEs identified in prior versions while introducing hardware-accelerated threat detection capabilities.

Exclusively compatible with the FortiGate 60F hardware platform (FG-60F), this firmware enhances operational efficiency through improved SSL inspection performance and expands IoT device identification accuracy by 40% compared to FortiOS 7.2.x releases. It maintains backward compatibility with SD-WAN configurations deployed since FortiOS 7.0.
