​​Introduction to FGT_600D-v6-build1579-FORTINET.out.zip​​

This firmware package delivers FortiOS 6.4.5 for FortiGate 600D enterprise firewalls, focusing on critical security hardening and operational optimization for large-scale network environments. Released under Fortinet’s Extended Vulnerability Support (EVS) program in Q3 2024, it addresses high-risk vulnerabilities while maintaining backward compatibility with existing configurations for financial institutions and cloud service providers.

The ​​FGT_600D-v6-build1579​​ update targets the 2U rack-mounted FortiGate 600D (FG-600D) appliance, supporting up to 25 Gbps threat inspection throughput. Designed for high-availability data center deployments, this build bridges feature parity between FortiOS 6.x and modern 7.x security architectures.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​
