Introduction to FGT_3401E-v6-build1914-FORTINET.out

This firmware release (build 1914) delivers critical security patches and operational optimizations for FortiGate 3400E series next-generation firewalls operating on FortiOS 6.4. Designed for enterprises managing hyperscale network environments, it resolves 14 CVEs identified in Q4 2024 while enhancing threat intelligence synchronization across distributed Security Fabric deployments.

Compatible with the 3400E hardware platform (FGT-3401E, FGT-3410E), this update requires FortiOS 6.4.6 or newer as a baseline. Fortinet officially released this build on December 15, 2024, through security advisory FG-IR-24-059.
