Introduction to FGT_100F-v6-build1392-FORTINET.out.zip
This firmware update delivers critical security patches and hardware optimizations for FortiGate 100F series next-generation firewalls. Designed for enterprise branch office deployments, build 1392 under FortiOS 6.4 resolves 17 documented vulnerabilities while improving threat inspection throughput by 33% compared to previous versions. The release aligns with Fortinet’s Q1 2025 security update cycle, specifically targeting SSL-VPN hardening and NP6 processor optimizations.
Compatible with FortiGate 100F/110F/120F hardware variants, this firmware requires 4GB RAM and 128GB SSD storage for optimal operation. Network administrators should allocate 20-minute maintenance windows when upgrading from FortiOS 6.2.x or earlier versions.
