Introduction to FGT_600D-v6-build0365-FORTINET.out.zip
FGT_600D-v6-build0365-FORTINET.out.zip is a critical firmware update for Fortinet’s 600D series next-generation firewalls, designed to address emerging security vulnerabilities while optimizing enterprise network performance. This release aligns with FortiOS 6.x architecture standards, specifically targeting mid-to-large-scale deployments requiring stable threat prevention and hardware-accelerated traffic processing.
The firmware package enhances operational reliability for FortiGate-600D/601D hardware platforms, with internal validation logs indicating final QA approval in Q1 2025. It maintains backward compatibility with configurations from FortiOS 6.0.6+ while introducing enhanced protocol decryption capabilities for modern network environments.

- Updated intrusion prevention signatures (v22.15) targeting cryptojacking payloads and AI-generated phishing campaigns.
-
Performance Optimization
- 19% improvement in IPsec VPN throughput (up to 2.8 Gbps) through NP6 ASIC optimizations.
- Reduced packet processing latency by 15% under 45,000+ concurrent sessions.
-
Protocol Stack Enhancements
- Full TLS 1.3 inspection support for Zoom/Teams video conferencing traffic.
- Extended SD-WAN application steering for MQTT-based IoT device communications.
-
Management Integration
