​​Introduction to FGT_60E_DSL-v6.M-build2093-FORTINET.out Software​​

This firmware update delivers critical security patches and operational enhancements for FortiGate 60E DSL models, designed for branch offices requiring integrated xDSL connectivity and enterprise-grade threat protection. As part of FortiOS 6.4’s Extended Security Maintenance (ESM) track, build 2093 resolves 18 documented vulnerabilities while maintaining backward compatibility with SD-WAN and ZTNA 2.0 configurations.

Optimized for environments with limited IT staff, this release supports DSL link failover times under 500ms and integrates with FortiManager centralized management platforms. The firmware preserves existing security policies during upgrades, making it ideal for organizations migrating from FortiOS 6.2 deployments.
