​​Introduction to FGT_280D_POE-v6-build0419-FORTINET.out Software​​

The ​​FGT_280D_POE-v6-build0419-FORTINET.out​​ firmware delivers critical security enhancements and performance optimizations for Fortinet’s FortiGate 280D-POE series next-generation firewalls. Released under FortiOS 6.4.17 in Q3 2025, this update addresses 14 CVEs identified in previous builds while maintaining 5 Gbps threat inspection throughput – a 15% improvement over v6-build0365 versions.

Designed specifically for the ​​FortiGate 280D-POE​​ hardware platform, this firmware enhances network security for distributed enterprise environments with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) requirements. It supports hybrid work architectures requiring <8 ms latency for VoIP systems and IoT device management.
