Introduction to FGT_3000D-v6-build1010-FORTINET.out Software
This firmware package delivers critical security enhancements for FortiGate 3000D series next-generation firewalls, specifically addressing vulnerabilities identified in Q4 2024 PSIRT bulletins. Designed for enterprise data center deployments, build 1010 improves threat detection accuracy while maintaining backward compatibility with FortiOS 6.2 configurations.
The update targets FG-3000D hardware platforms, featuring optimizations for high-density 100Gbps network environments. Release notes indicate this version became generally available on February 15, 2025, as part of Fortinet’s Extended Security Maintenance program for legacy 6.x deployments.
