Introduction to FGT_60E_POE-v6-build1010-FORTINET.out Software

This firmware release (v6-build1010) delivers critical security updates and hardware optimizations for FortiGate 60E Power over Ethernet (PoE) series next-generation firewalls. As part of FortiOS 6.2.2’s extended maintenance cycle, it addresses 14 CVEs identified in Q4 2024 while enhancing network stability for SMB and branch office deployments.

Specifically designed for FG-60E-POE models manufactured after Q2 2022 (P/N P19340-xx series), this build maintains backward compatibility with FortiOS 6.2.x configurations. Released on November 4, 2024, it has undergone 30-day field validation across 500+ production networks with 99.96% operational reliability.
