FortiGate 70G firmware

[Jirka1]

Hi,

we are planning to buy some 70G - now I have learned that they only support version 7.0.
Is there any ETA for version 7.2/7.4?

Thanks.

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.:
