Introduction to FGT_1500DT-v6-build1914-FORTINET.out

This firmware package delivers mission-critical security updates for FortiGate 1500DT series next-generation firewalls, designed for hyperscale data center deployments requiring 100Gbps+ threat inspection capacity. As part of FortiOS v6.4.11’s extended support branch, build1914 addresses 17 CVEs disclosed in Q4 2024 while maintaining compatibility with legacy SD-WAN configurations.

The update targets enterprises operating in PCI-DSS 4.0 environments where encrypted traffic analysis latency must remain below 3μs. Compatible with 1500DT hardware revisions manufactured after 2023 Q2, it preserves existing VPN tunnel configurations during upgrades from v6.4.6+ firmware.
