Introduction to FGT_600D-v6.M-build2060-FORTINET.out Software
This maintenance release targets Fortinet’s FortiGate 600D series firewalls, delivering critical security updates and SD-WAN performance optimizations under FortiOS v6.4.15. Designed for enterprises requiring uninterrupted network operations, build2060 resolves 12 CVEs identified in Q1 2025 security advisories while enhancing traffic prioritization for cloud applications.
Compatible exclusively with FG-600D and FG-601D hardware models, this firmware supports environments requiring NGFW throughput up to 15 Gbps. System administrators managing retail networks and distributed branches will benefit from its improved VPN stability and IoT device profiling accuracy.
