Introduction to FGT_100D-v6-build1010-FORTINET-6.2.2.out
The FGT_100D-v6-build1010-FORTINET-6.2.2.out firmware delivers critical security patches and performance optimizations for FortiGate 100D series next-generation firewalls running FortiOS 6.2.x. This build (v6-build1010) specifically addresses vulnerabilities in SSL-VPN services while enhancing threat detection capabilities for industrial control system (ICS) protocols. Released in Q2 2023, it serves as a stability-focused update for organizations maintaining legacy FortiGate 100D appliances.
Compatible with FortiManager 6.4+ ecosystems, this version introduces hardware-accelerated SSL inspection improvements through NP6 Lite security processors, achieving 950Mbps IPS throughput as documented in hardware specifications. The update maintains FIPS 140-2 Level 2 compliance for government-regulated deployments.
Key Features and Improvements
