Introduction to FGT_400D-v5-build1202-FORTINET.out.zip

This firmware package delivers critical security updates for Fortinet’s FortiGate 400D series, a mid-range network security appliance designed for enterprise perimeter defense. As part of FortiOS 5.x extended support releases, build 1202 addresses vulnerabilities in SSL-VPN implementations while optimizing hardware resource utilization for legacy network configurations.

The update targets organizations requiring compliance with PCI-DSS 3.2.1 standards and supports environments managing up to 800,000 concurrent sessions. Though official release dates are restricted to licensed partners, version patterns suggest this build corresponds to Q4 2023 security maintenance updates for devices under extended lifecycle support.
