1. Introduction to FGT_6000F-v7.4.3.F-build2573-FORTINET.out Software

This hyperscale security firmware update (build 2573) enhances threat prevention capabilities for Fortinet’s 6000F Next-Generation Firewall series, designed for enterprise data centers and telecommunications providers. Released on March 15, 2025, it resolves 22 CVEs identified through FortiGuard Labs’ global threat intelligence network while introducing hardware-accelerated TLS 1.3 inspection at 650Gbps throughput.

The 6000F platform now achieves 1.4Tbps threat protection throughput using Fortinet’s 8th-generation NP8XL Security Processing Units, supporting 750,000 concurrent SSL-VPN tunnels with 98% hardware offloading efficiency. This version specifically targets organizations requiring compliance with FedRAMP High and ISO 27001:2025 standards.
