Introduction to FGT_100EF-v6.M-build2095-FORTINET.out Software
This firmware package delivers critical updates for Fortinet’s FortiGate 100EF Series next-generation firewalls, optimized for enterprise branch offices requiring advanced threat protection. Released in Q2 2025 as part of FortiOS 6.M’s lifecycle, build 2095 resolves 12 CVEs while enhancing SSL-VPN throughput by 18% compared to prior versions.
Compatible exclusively with 100EF hardware models, it introduces zero-trust network access (ZTNA) protocol refinements and extended SD-WAN orchestration capabilities. System administrators prioritize this build for its backward compatibility with FortiManager 7.6.1 configurations and improved TLS 1.3 session handling.
