Introduction to FGT_101F-v6.M-build2093-FORTINET.out.zip Software
This firmware package delivers mission-critical infrastructure upgrades for FortiGate 101F series firewalls operating under FortiOS 6.4. Designed for mid-sized enterprises requiring multi-layered threat prevention, build2093 resolves 13 CVEs identified in Fortinet’s Q2 2025 security advisories while enhancing SD-WAN performance for hybrid cloud environments.
Released on May 10, 2025 as part of Fortinet’s bi-annual security update cycle, it specifically targets hardware revisions FG-101F-3G4G-POE and FG-101F-T1 manufactured after Q4 2023. The update integrates NP6XLite ASIC acceleration improvements originally developed for 100F series devices, achieving 18% faster SSL inspection throughput compared to previous 6.4.x versions.
