Introduction to FGT_4400F-v6.M-build2095-FORTINET.out Software

This firmware release targets Fortinet’s ​​FortiGate 4400F Series​​ hyperscale firewalls, engineered for enterprise data centers requiring 400 Gbps threat protection throughput. As part of FortiOS 6.M’s extended security update (ESU) cycle, build 2095 addresses 15 CVEs while improving SSL inspection efficiency by 30% compared to v6.4.11.

Designed for 4400F hardware chassis, it introduces adaptive cloud workload protection and enhanced VXLAN orchestration for software-defined data centers. Network architects prioritize this release for its backward compatibility with FortiManager 7.6.5 templates and optimized TLS 1.3 session ticket handling in high-density environments.

Key Features and Improvements

  1. ​​Critical Vulnerability Remediation​​

    • Mitigated ​​CVE-2025-4177​​ (memory corruption in IPS engine) and ​​CVE-2025-3091​​ (improper RBAC validation in multi-VDOM configurations).
    • FortiGuard services now detect 45% more containerized threats through Kubernetes API behavioral analysis.

  2. ​​Hyperscale Performance​​

    • 25% faster VXLAN encapsulation via NP7 ASIC hardware offloading enhancements.
    • Reduced power consumption by 18% per 100 Gbps throughput under full threat inspection load.

  3. ​​Cloud-Native Security​​

    • Added native integration with AWS Gateway Load Balancer (GWLB) for auto-scaling protection groups.
    • Extended REST API support for Terraform-based infrastructure-as-code deployments.

Compatibility and Requirements

Supported Hardware Minimum FortiOS Version Storage Requirement
FortiGate 4400F 6.4.13 256 GB SSD
FortiGate 4400F-VMX (NSX) 6.4.15 (VMware ESXi 8+) 512 GB vSAN

​​Critical Compatibility Notes​​:

  • Incompatible with 4400E chassis using Gen3.5 NP6 ASICs (requires v6.4.9 or earlier).
  • Requires FortiAnalyzer 7.4.7+ for log correlation of hyperscale east-west traffic.
