1. Introduction to FGT_1800F-v6.M-build2093-FORTINET.out Software

This firmware release (v6.M-build2093) delivers critical security patches and operational optimizations for the FortiGate 1800F series, a high-performance next-generation firewall designed for enterprise networks requiring 100Gbps threat protection. Based on FortiOS 6.4.15 architecture, it resolves 11 CVEs disclosed in Q2 2025, including vulnerabilities in SSL inspection and IPS engine subsystems, while improving SD-WAN policy enforcement efficiency by 25% compared to previous 6.4.x versions.

Specifically engineered for FortiGate 1800F hardware revision C models with 32GB RAM, this build introduces quantum-resistant VPN key exchange mechanisms and enhances hardware-accelerated threat detection. Officially released on June 5, 2025, it maintains backward compatibility with configurations from FortiOS 6.4.12 onward.
