​​Introduction to FGT_3300E-v6.M-build2030-FORTINET.out​​

This firmware release (​​FGT_3300E-v6.M-build2030-FORTINET.out​​) delivers critical security updates and performance enhancements for FortiGate 3300E series next-generation firewalls under FortiOS 6.4.11. Designed for hyperscale data center deployments requiring carrier-grade reliability, it resolves 18 CVEs while maintaining backward compatibility with hybrid cloud architectures. The update prioritizes organizations managing high-density 100Gbps traffic environments with extended FortiOS 6.4.x lifecycle support.

Exclusively compatible with FortiGate 3300E hardware (P/N: FG-3300E), this build enhances the platform’s 400 Gbps threat protection throughput and integrates with FortiManager 7.4.x ecosystems. Network architects will benefit from its AI-driven threat intelligence synchronization and enhanced protocol support for modern cloud-native applications.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​
