1. Introduction to FGT_60E-v6-build1778-FORTINET.out Software

This firmware package delivers critical security and performance enhancements for Fortinet’s FortiGate 60E series appliances, designed for enterprise branch offices requiring 3Gbps+ threat protection throughput. As part of the FortiOS v6.4 maintenance release (Q2 2025), build 1778 resolves 15 CVEs identified in industrial control system protocols while optimizing NP6Lite ASIC performance for encrypted traffic inspection.

The update introduces hardware-accelerated TLS 1.3 session resumption capabilities, reducing SSL handshake latency by 22% compared to previous builds. Compatible with FortiManager 7.2.1+ centralized management systems, it supports up to 200 concurrent IPsec VPN tunnels with AES-256-GCM encryption.
