Introduction to FGT_1500D-v6-build1364-FORTINET.out Software

This firmware update delivers critical security enhancements and performance optimizations for Fortinet’s 1500D Next-Generation Firewall series, designed for enterprise networks requiring 100Gbps+ threat inspection capabilities. Released under FortiOS 6.4 branch in Q2 2025, build 1364 addresses 9 CVEs while optimizing hardware resource allocation for hyperscale environments.

The firmware targets FG-1500D appliances deployed in data centers and service provider networks, particularly those utilizing NP6 network processors for AI-driven security analytics. It maintains backward compatibility with existing VDOM configurations while introducing hardware-specific optimizations for 40GbE/100GbE interface modules.
