Introduction to FGT_80F_BP-v7.2.3.F-build1262-FORTINET.out

This firmware delivers ​​FortiOS 7.2.3 Feature Release (F-build1262)​​ for ​​FortiGate 80F BP Series​​ appliances, released on April 23, 2025. Designed for branch office deployments requiring advanced security and SD-WAN capabilities, it resolves 9 critical vulnerabilities while optimizing application recognition accuracy by 35%. The update integrates with FortiManager 7.6.3+ for centralized policy orchestration and FortiAnalyzer 8.4+ for enhanced threat analytics.

Exclusive to ​​FortiGate 80F BP models (FG-80F BP)​​, this build addresses connectivity instability reported in multi-carrier SD-WAN environments and introduces mandatory TLS 1.3 enforcement. Network administrators managing distributed retail or banking networks should prioritize deployment due to its patched SSL-VPN vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-31415) and improved IoT device profiling capabilities.
