1. Introduction to FGT_70F-v7.4.2.F-build2571-FORTINET.out

This firmware package delivers FortiOS 7.4.2 Feature Release (build 2571) for FortiGate 70F series next-generation firewalls, specifically engineered for branch offices requiring 5 Gbps threat protection throughput with integrated SD-WAN and Zero Trust capabilities. Released on May 15, 2025, it addresses 18 CVEs identified in previous 7.4.x versions while enhancing security service processor (SPU) efficiency.

Compatible with FG-70F hardware platforms (including 70F/70F-2G/70F-POE models), the firmware maintains backward compatibility with networks running FortiOS 7.2.7+ or 7.4.1+. It implements FIPS 140-3 Level 1 validation for environments requiring standardized cryptographic compliance.
