Introduction to FGT_60E_DSLJ-v6-build1190-FORTINET.out Software
This firmware release (build 1190) provides critical security updates and performance optimizations for FortiGate 60E DSL series appliances, designed for small-to-medium businesses requiring integrated DSL connectivity and advanced threat protection. As part of FortiOS 6.4.12’s Long-Term Support (LTS) branch, it addresses 7 CVEs rated high/critical severity while maintaining backward compatibility with existing security policies.
Compatible with FortiGate-60E DSL and 60E DSLJ models, this Q4 2024 update enhances VPN throughput by 15% and introduces SD-WAN application steering for hybrid networks. It supports unified threat management (UTM) profiles optimized for remote offices and retail environments with limited IT staff.
