Introduction to FWF_80F_2R-v7.2.0.F-build1157-FORTINET.out

This firmware package delivers enterprise-grade security enhancements for FortiGate 80F 2R next-generation firewalls, corresponding to FortiOS 7.2.0 Feature Release (build 1157). Designed for distributed branch office networks, it addresses 15 CVEs identified in Q1 2025 while optimizing threat detection capabilities for hybrid workforce environments.

The FortiGate 80F 2R appliance supports 25 Gbps firewall throughput with 8 Gbps threat protection capacity, making this update critical for organizations requiring compliance with NIST CSF 2.1 standards. Official documentation confirms readiness for SD-WAN implementations supporting zero-trust network access (ZTNA) architectures.
