1. Introduction to FGT_1200D-v6-build1579-FORTINET.out

This firmware package (FGT_1200D-v6-build1579-FORTINET.out) delivers Fortinet’s enterprise-class security enhancements for the FortiGate 1200D next-generation firewall platform, released under FortiOS 6.2.15 maintenance updates in Q3 2024. Designed for high-density data center environments, this build addresses 14 critical vulnerabilities identified through FortiGuard Labs’ global threat analysis network.

Exclusive to the FortiGate 1200D hardware (FG-1200D), this firmware supports configurations requiring 40Gbps firewall throughput and 10M concurrent sessions. It maintains backward compatibility with FortiOS 6.2.12+ configurations while introducing hardware-accelerated SSL inspection for TLS 1.3 traffic.
