1. Introduction to FGT_2200E-v6-build1879-FORTINET.out.zip
This firmware package delivers FortiOS v6.4-build1879 for FortiGate 2200E series next-generation firewalls, addressing critical security vulnerabilities while enhancing data center-grade network protection capabilities. Designed for enterprise edge and core network deployments, the update leverages Fortinet’s NP7 network processors to achieve 120Gbps threat inspection throughput with sub-microsecond latency.
Specifically compatible with FortiGate 2200E hardware appliances, this release follows Fortinet’s quarterly security maintenance cycle, aligning with NIST SP 800-207 Zero Trust Architecture guidelines. While exact release dates are restricted to registered partners, build1879 corresponds to Q3 2024 security patching cycles observed in similar FortiGate firmware versions.
