​Introduction to FGT_4400F-v6.M-build2000-FORTINET.out Software​

This maintenance release (build 2000) targets ​​FortiGate 4400F hyperscale firewalls​​, addressing 14 critical vulnerabilities while optimizing performance for high-density data center deployments. As part of FortiOS 6.4.15 extended support updates, it ensures compliance with NIST 800-193 resilience standards for enterprises managing over 500,000 concurrent sessions.

Designed for organizations requiring carrier-grade uptime and encrypted traffic inspection at scale, the firmware enhances TLS 1.3 decryption efficiency and supports 400Gbps threat protection throughput. Official release logs confirm availability through Fortinet Support Portal since February 2025.
