Introduction to FGT_60E_POE-v7.0.11.M-build0489-FORTINET.out
This firmware update delivers critical security hardening and PoE management enhancements for FortiGate 60E-POE series firewalls, optimized for SMB networks requiring Power over Ethernet (PoE) support and advanced threat detection. Released on May 15, 2025, it resolves 6 CVEs disclosed in Q2 2025 while improving SSL inspection throughput by 25% compared to v7.0.10 builds.
Specifically engineered for FortiGate 60E-POE appliances with NP6Lite security processors, this release introduces hardware-accelerated TLS 1.3 decryption and complies with FIPS 140-3 Level 2 standards. Backward compatibility extends to FortiOS 7.0.x configurations but requires hardware revision C2+ for full PoE load-balancing functionality.
