Introduction to FGT_90E-v7.0.8.F-build0418-FORTINET.out

This firmware update delivers FortiOS 7.0.8 Feature Release for FortiGate 90E series appliances, engineered for enterprise branch office network security operations. Officially released on May 15, 2025 (build 0418), it resolves 16 critical vulnerabilities including CVE-2025-32756 while introducing enhanced SD-WAN orchestration capabilities. Exclusively compatible with FG-90E hardware platforms, this version achieves 22% faster threat detection throughput compared to FortiOS 7.0.7.

Designed for networks requiring 10Gbps+ encrypted traffic inspection, the update supports advanced security services integration with FortiManager 7.4.5+ management systems. Backward compatibility extends to FortiOS 7.0.6 configurations, though downgrades from 7.2.x versions require hardware reset procedures.
