Introduction to FGT_3980E-v6-build1364-FORTINET.out Software
FGT_3980E-v6-build1364-FORTINET.out is an enterprise-grade firmware package for Fortinet’s FortiGate 3980E hyperscale firewall platform, delivering mission-critical security updates under FortiOS 6.4.12. Released in Q1 2025, this build targets telecom carriers and cloud service providers requiring 800 Gbps threat inspection throughput with carrier-grade reliability.
The firmware supports FortiGate 3980E chassis systems equipped with NP7XLite security processors, optimized for 5G core networks and multi-tenant data centers. It introduces hardware-accelerated VXLAN gateway functionality while maintaining backward compatibility with FortiOS 6.4.x configurations.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Zero-Day Threat Prevention
- CVE-2024-26010 Remediation: Eliminates SSL-VPN session hijacking risks through enhanced certificate validation protocols observed in GitHub Actions security updates.
- AI-Powered Sandboxing: Detects polymorphic ransomware variants with 99.7% accuracy using behavioral analysis engines.
2. Hyperscale Performance
- 400GE Interface Optimization: Achieves 380 Gbps IPSec throughput using QSFP-DD transceivers, validated in similar high-performance builds.
- VXLAN Gateway Mode: Supports 50,000+ MAC entries for multi-tenant network segmentation, aligning with SDN architecture best practices.
3. Regulatory Compliance
- FIPS 140-3 Validation: Upgrades cryptographic modules for AES-256-GCM and SHA-384 compliance, following NIST SP 800-207 guidelines.
- PCI-DSS 4.0 Preconfigurations: Includes 300+ audit-ready policies for payment processing environments.
