​​Introduction to FGT_500D-v6-build1190-FORTINET.out.zip​​

This firmware package delivers FortiOS 6.2.14 for FortiGate 500D enterprise firewalls, addressing critical vulnerabilities while optimizing network performance for high-throughput data center environments. Released under Fortinet’s Extended Vulnerability Support (EVS) program in Q4 2024, it serves as a maintenance update for organizations requiring extended security coverage on legacy hardware.

The ​​FGT_500D-v6-build1190​​ build targets the 2U rack-mounted FortiGate 500D (FG-500D) appliance, supporting up to 35 Gbps threat inspection throughput. Designed for financial institutions and cloud service providers, this update bridges feature parity between older FortiOS 6.x releases and modern 7.x security architectures.
