Introduction to FGT_60F-v6-build6905-FORTINET.out.zip

This firmware package delivers FortiOS 6.4.12 build 6905 for FortiGate 60F next-generation firewalls, addressing 11 critical security vulnerabilities while enhancing SD-WAN application steering capabilities. Designed for distributed enterprise networks, this Q1 2025 release optimizes AES-NI hardware acceleration to achieve 3.2Gbps threat prevention throughput – a 25% improvement over previous 6.4.x versions.
