​​Introduction to FGT_600F-v7.4.3.F-build2573-FORTINET.out.zip​​

This firmware package delivers FortiOS 7.4.3 for FortiGate 6000F Next-Generation Firewalls, released on April 22, 2025, to address 14 critical CVEs while enhancing zero-trust network access (ZTNA) capabilities. Designed for hyperscale data centers and service providers, it achieves 25 Gbps threat inspection throughput with 2.1 million concurrent connections – 18% faster than FortiOS 7.4.2.

The 6000F series supports 400Gbps firewall throughput and integrates with FortiManager 7.6.4 for centralized policy orchestration, making this update critical for organizations requiring FedRAMP High compliance and quantum-safe VPN implementations.
