1. Introduction to FGT_2200E-v6-build6876-FORTINET.out.zip

This firmware package delivers FortiOS 6.4.15 for FortiGate 2200E series next-generation firewalls, designed for enterprise data centers requiring extended security maintenance under Fortinet’s Long-Term Support (LTS) program. Released in Q1 2025 as build 6876, this update focuses on hybrid cloud security integration while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy SD-WAN configurations.

The software supports FG-2200E hardware in high-availability cluster deployments, specifically optimized for organizations managing PCI-DSS 4.0 compliant infrastructures. It serves as the recommended firmware version for enterprises requiring quantum-resistant encryption protocols without hardware refresh cycles.
