Introduction to FGT_2500E-v6-build1010-FORTINET.out.zip

This firmware release (build 1010) delivers critical security updates and performance optimizations for ​​FortiGate 2500E​​ next-generation firewalls operating under FortiOS 6.x. Designed for large-scale enterprise networks requiring carrier-grade throughput, it resolves 12 CVEs identified in Q3 2024 while enhancing SSL/TLS inspection efficiency by 19%. Compatible exclusively with FortiGate 2500E hardware variants, this build aligns with Fortinet’s Security Fabric architecture to strengthen threat prevention in hyperscale environments.

Based on FortiOS 6.2.2 core infrastructure, the release became available through Fortinet’s support portal on September 30, 2024. It supports configurations with ≥16 GB RAM and hardware-accelerated NP7 processors.
