Introduction to FGT_60F-v6-build6930-FORTINET.out.zip
This firmware package delivers critical security updates and operational optimizations for FortiGate 60F series next-generation firewalls. Released on May 10, 2025, as part of FortiOS 6.4.30 maintenance updates, it addresses 12 CVEs identified in Q1 2025 security audits while enhancing SD-WAN application steering capabilities. Designed for small-to-medium enterprises requiring PCI-DSS 4.0 compliance, this build improves threat detection efficiency through hardware-accelerated SSL inspection.
Compatible with FortiGate 60F hardware revisions 2.5+ and 61F HA clusters, this release maintains backward compatibility with FortiOS 6.4.x configurations. The update integrates seamlessly with FortiManager 7.6.5+ for centralized policy management and FortiAnalyzer 8.4.2+ for log aggregation.
