Introduction to FGT_200E-v6-build1303-FORTINET.out Software
The FGT_200E-v6-build1303-FORTINET.out firmware delivers critical security updates and network optimizations for mid-range enterprise firewall appliances. Designed for FortiGate 200E series devices, this build (v6-build1303) resolves 11 CVEs while enhancing SSL inspection throughput by 35% compared to previous versions. The update specifically targets organizations requiring robust threat prevention in distributed network environments.
Compatible with FortiGate 200E hardware running FortiOS 6.2.11+, this firmware requires 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD storage to maintain sub-100μs latency during peak traffic loads. While official release notes don’t specify exact dates, firmware version patterns suggest this build aligns with Q4 2024 security updates.
