1. Introduction to FGT_600F-v7.0.10.M-build4913-FORTINET.out

This firmware release for FortiGate 600F series next-generation firewalls delivers mission-critical security updates under FortiOS 7.0.10’s Security Fabric architecture. Officially released in Q4 2024, build4913 addresses 18 CVEs identified through FortiGuard Labs’ threat intelligence network while improving SSL inspection throughput by 27% compared to v7.0.10.M-build4802.

Designed explicitly for FortiGate 600F hardware platforms (all hardware revisions), it integrates with FortiManager 7.6.4+ and FortiAnalyzer 7.6.2+ for centralized security policy management. The firmware maintains backward compatibility with FortiOS 6.4.18 configurations through automated migration templates.
