Introduction to FGT_1000D-v6-build1190-FORTINET.out
This firmware release delivers critical security patches and performance enhancements for FortiGate 1000D series firewalls running FortiOS v6.x. Designed for enterprise networks requiring high-throughput security, it addresses 12 CVEs identified in Q1 2025 while maintaining compatibility with legacy SD-WAN configurations.
Specifically compiled for hardware revisions P23120-08 and newer, this build corresponds to FortiOS 6.4.19 interim release branch. First published on March 18, 2025, it remains backward-compatible with FortiManager 7.4.x for centralized policy management.
