Introduction to FGT_600E-v6-build1263-FORTINET-6.2.10.out Software
The FGT_600E-v6-build1263-FORTINET-6.2.10.out firmware delivers critical security patches and network optimization for FortiGate 600E series appliances running FortiOS 6.2.10. Designed for enterprise edge deployments, this build resolves 11 CVEs identified in Fortinet’s Q1 2025 security advisories while maintaining backward compatibility with existing SD-WAN configurations.
Specifically engineered for FortiGate 600E hardware models (FG-600E), this firmware supports organizations requiring extended security updates under Fortinet’s Long-Term Support program. Released in February 2025, it enhances threat detection precision while preserving compatibility with hybrid network architectures.
