Introduction to FGT_90E-v7.0.7.F-build0367-FORTINET.out Software
This firmware update delivers essential security hardening and network performance improvements for Fortinet’s enterprise-edge firewall solution. Designed specifically for FortiGate 90E appliances, build 0367 addresses 15 CVSS-rated vulnerabilities while boosting SD-WAN application steering efficiency by 28% compared to v7.0.6 releases.
Compatible with both 90E and 90E-POE hardware variants, the update introduces hardware-accelerated TLS 1.3 inspection capabilities while maintaining backward compatibility with FortiOS 7.0.6 configurations. Validated through 1,500+ hours of stress testing, the firmware achieves 99.8% packet processing stability under 50,000 concurrent VPN sessions.
