​​Introduction to FGT_3300E-v6.M-build2060-FORTINET.out​​

This firmware package delivers critical updates for FortiGate 3300E series firewalls running FortiOS 6.x. Designed for network administrators managing enterprise security infrastructure, it addresses multiple security vulnerabilities while maintaining compatibility with legacy hardware configurations. The build 2060 iteration specifically targets performance optimization for VPN throughput and hardware resource allocation in mid-range firewall deployments.

Compatible with FortiGate 3300E/3400E models (including 3301E, 3303E), this release supports organizations requiring extended lifecycle support for hardware deployed between 2020-2023. While Fortinet now mandates active FortiCare subscriptions for firmware updates beyond 7.4.x versions, this build remains accessible for legacy systems under limited warranty conditions.
