Introduction to FGT_60E_DSL-v6-build1364-FORTINET.out Software

This firmware update delivers critical security enhancements and DSL-specific optimizations for Fortinet’s 60E-DSL series Next-Generation Firewalls, designed for branch offices requiring integrated xDSL connectivity with 1Gbps threat inspection. Released under FortiOS 6.4.15 branch in Q2 2025, build 1364 addresses 8 CVEs while improving hardware resource allocation for environments using VDSL2/ADSL2+ connections.

The firmware targets FG-60E-DSL appliances deployed in retail networks and remote sites requiring unified threat management across 24×7 operations. It maintains backward compatibility with existing security policies while introducing optimizations for the built-in DSL modem and NP6Lite security processor.
