​​Introduction to FGT_80E-v7.2.4.F-build1396-FORTINET.out Software​​

This firmware package (build 1396) delivers FortiOS 7.2.4 for FortiGate 80E next-generation firewalls, released in Q1 2024 as a security-focused update under Fortinet’s Extended Support Release (ESR) program. Designed for enterprise branch offices requiring long-term stability, it addresses 11 CVEs disclosed in 2023-2024 while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy network protocols.

Exclusively compatible with the 80E hardware platform (FGT-80E), this version provides critical updates for organizations operating industrial control systems (ICS) and payment processing environments requiring TLS 1.0/1.1 protocol preservation. The release follows Fortinet’s quarterly security maintenance cycle, with final testing completed on March 15, 2024.
