1. Introduction to FGT_240D-v6-build0365-FORTINET.out
This firmware package delivers FortiOS 6.4.15 for FortiGate 240D series firewalls, released in Q2 2025 as a critical network security enhancement. Designed for medium-sized enterprises requiring CVE-2025 vulnerability remediation, it addresses 4 high-severity security flaws while optimizing threat detection performance for encrypted traffic.
The build0365 revision specifically enhances hardware acceleration for the 240D’s NP6lite security processors, improving SSL/TLS decryption throughput by 18% compared to previous builds. Compatible exclusively with FG-240D hardware, this update maintains backward compatibility with configurations created in FortiOS 6.4.12+ but requires full system reset when downgrading from 7.x firmware branches.
