Introduction to FGT_600E-v6.M-build2092-FORTINET.out.zip
This firmware update delivers critical security hardening and operational refinements for Fortinet’s enterprise-grade FortiGate 600E next-generation firewall platform. Designed for high-performance network environments requiring extended support for FortiOS 6.x architectures, it bridges legacy infrastructure compatibility with modern threat prevention frameworks.
The software specifically targets FortiGate 600E, 600E-3G4G, and 600E-DC hardware variants. Based on FortiOS 6.4.15 codebase patterns observed in related builds like FGT_500D-v6.M-build2030-FORTINET-6.4.11.out, this release addresses vulnerabilities documented in Fortinet’s Q4 2024 security advisories. While no official release date is published, build2092 aligns with Fortinet’s established November 2024 security patch cycle for extended-support devices.
