Introduction to FGT_80E-v7.0.15.M-build0632-FORTINET.out

This firmware package (​​v7.0.15.M-build0632​​) delivers critical security enhancements for ​​FortiGate 80E​​ next-generation firewalls, addressing 11 CVEs identified in Fortinet’s Q2 2025 security advisory. Designed for small-to-medium enterprises, this update optimizes threat detection efficiency by 19% compared to the previous 7.0.14 release while aligning with NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 6 compliance requirements.

Exclusively compatible with ​​FortiGate 80E/60E Series​​ appliances running FortiOS 7.0.x, the build resolves memory fragmentation issues in SSL inspection workflows and improves SD-WAN application steering for Microsoft Teams and Zoom traffic. The firmware became available through official channels on ​​May 5, 2025​​.
