Introduction to FGT_100D-v6-build0866-FORTINET-6.2.0.out
The FGT_100D-v6-build0866-FORTINET-6.2.0.out firmware delivers critical security patches and performance optimizations for Fortinet’s FortiGate 100D next-generation firewall. Released under FortiOS 6.2.0, this build (0866) addresses 9 CVEs rated critical/high severity, including vulnerabilities in SSL-VPN portals and IPv6 packet processing modules. Designed for small-to-medium enterprises, it enhances threat prevention throughput by 22% compared to FortiOS 6.0.x versions while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy configurations.
This update specifically targets organizations requiring compliance with PCI DSS 3.2.1 and HIPAA security rules, introducing enhanced logging capabilities for audit trail generation. The firmware supports seamless integration with FortiManager 6.2.x for centralized policy management.
