Introduction to FGT_1000D-v6-build1911-FORTINET.out.zip
This firmware package delivers FortiOS 6.4.5 for FortiGate 1000D series enterprise firewalls, addressing 9 critical CVEs while enhancing threat intelligence integration with FortiAnalyzer 7.4+ platforms. Designed for high-availability network environments, the build optimizes IPSec VPN throughput by 18% compared to FortiOS 6.4.4 on supported hardware.
Compatible with FGT-1000D and FGT-1200D models, this release introduces enhanced SD-WAN application steering logic and improves SSL inspection performance for TLS 1.3 traffic. System administrators managing multi-vendor networks will benefit from updated BGP route reflector cluster synchronization protocols.
