Introduction to FGT_800D-v7.2.6.F-build1575-FORTINET.out

This firmware update delivers FortiOS 7.2.6 for FortiGate 800D next-generation firewalls, addressing critical vulnerabilities in enterprise network edge security while enhancing 5G infrastructure protection. Released under Fortinet’s Q2 2025 security advisory program, the build1575 revision resolves 23 CVEs rated critical (CVSS ≥9.0) and introduces quantum-resistant encryption standards.

Compatible with FortiGate 800D hardware appliances and virtual deployments on VMware ESXi 8.0U4+/KVM 6.4+ platforms, this version maintains backward compatibility with industrial IoT protocols while implementing enhanced GTPv2 inspection for 5G standalone networks. The “F-build1575” designation confirms it as the seventh feature update in the 7.2.x release branch.
