FortiGate 70G firmware

Hi @Jirka1 ,

We do have a special build (Build 6403) image for the FGT 70G model in FortiOS 7.2.8.

The 7.4 GA build for 70G is supposed to be merged into 7.4.8 GA. The ETA is in late April.

Jirka:

 Although it's not documented, the 70G and other G series are really beta products.  As mentioned, they make a special build for products that are not ready for prime time.  These builds do not contain backported patches for security vulnerabilities, so they are essentially selling products with known exploits.  You won't be PCI or meet other compliance requirements until it goes GA, and while Fortinet may estimate April, you could end up a worthless hunk of metal for much longer.

Take a look here for all the vulnerability you get when you buy a G series.:

I agree it would have been helpful if our suppliers had informed us that the 70G devices don't support FortiOS 7.4.x. I currently have four 70G units that I can't integrate into our FortiFabric because they're not compatible with the current OS version.

Does anyone know when the 70G will support 7.4.x or 7.6.x?
