Introduction to FGT_3301E-v6-build6587-FORTINET.out Software
The FGT_3301E-v6-build6587-FORTINET.out firmware package delivers FortiOS 6.0.14 for FortiGate 3301E next-generation firewalls, designed for enterprise networks requiring hyperscale security and industrial IoT protocol support. This release addresses 12 critical CVEs documented in Fortinet’s Q2 2025 security advisories while optimizing hardware resource allocation for 5G core networks.
Exclusive to FortiGate 3301E hardware with NP7 processors, this build enhances SD-WAN orchestration capabilities and introduces automated threat intelligence synchronization with FortiAnalyzer 8.4+ platforms. The firmware aligns with Fortinet’s Secure Networking Framework updates published in March 2025.
