1. Introduction to FGT_200F-v6-build7257-FORTINET.out.zip

This firmware package (build 7257) delivers FortiOS 6.4.15 for FortiGate 200F next-generation firewalls, designed for mid-sized enterprises requiring 15Gbps threat protection with zero-trust network access capabilities. Released in Q2 2025 as part of Fortinet’s quarterly security update cycle, this version resolves 12 critical vulnerabilities identified in previous builds while introducing hardware-accelerated TLS 1.3 inspection for cloud application traffic.

The 200F model targets distributed office networks needing SD-WAN optimization across 10Gbps interfaces, now enhanced with AI-driven traffic prioritization algorithms. This update improves industrial control system (ICS) security through expanded Modbus/TCP protocol support and integrates with FortiManager 7.4.0+ centralized management platforms.
