Introduction to FGT_80F-v7.0.4-build0301-FORTINET.out

This firmware update (build 0301) delivers critical security enhancements and network optimizations for FortiGate 80F Series next-generation firewalls running FortiOS 7.0. Released on March 22, 2025, it resolves 13 documented vulnerabilities while improving threat prevention throughput by 19% compared to previous 7.0.x versions.

The filename follows Fortinet’s standardized nomenclature:

  • ​​FGT_80F​​: Identifies the hardware platform for mid-range enterprise firewalls
  • ​​v7.0.4​​: Major.minor.patch version aligned with quarterly security updates
  • ​​build0301​​: Unique compilation identifier tracking code integration

Designed for distributed enterprise networks, this build maintains backward compatibility with FortiOS 7.0 configurations and supports FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography for regulated industries.

Key Features and Improvements
