Introduction to FGT_60E_DSL-v6-build0303-FORTINET.out

This firmware release (​​build0303​​) delivers critical security updates and operational enhancements for FortiGate 60E DSL devices running FortiOS 6.4.12. Designed for small-to-medium branch offices requiring integrated DSL connectivity, this Q2 2025 update addresses 14 documented vulnerabilities while improving threat detection efficiency by 19% compared to previous builds.

Specifically engineered for the FortiGate 60E DSL hardware platform (FG-60E-DSL), this firmware maintains backward compatibility with FortiOS 6.4.x configurations and integrates with FortiManager 7.4+ for centralized security management. The update complies with NIST SP 800-193 firmware integrity requirements for secure deployments.
