Introduction to FGT_70F-v7.0.10.M-build0450-FORTINET.out

This firmware delivers FortiOS 7.0.10.M for FortiGate 70F next-generation firewalls, designed for branch offices requiring enterprise-grade security with SD-WAN optimization. Released in Q1 2025, build0450 resolves 12 critical CVEs while introducing hardware-accelerated TLS 1.3 decryption for improved threat visibility.

The 70F platform achieves 5 Gbps firewall throughput with 700 Mbps IPSec VPN capacity, making this update essential for organizations implementing ISO 27001:2025 compliance frameworks. Enhanced IoT device fingerprinting and automated NAC policy generation streamline zero-trust network access implementations.
