Introduction to FGT_60F-v6.M-build2093-FORTINET.out.zip
This firmware package delivers critical security patches and performance enhancements for FortiGate 60F next-generation firewalls. Released under Fortinet’s quarterly security update cycle, build 2093 addresses 13 CVEs rated medium-to-critical severity while introducing hardware-specific optimizations for the NP6XLite security processing unit.
Designed exclusively for FortiGate 60F appliances, this release maintains backward compatibility with FortiOS 6.4.x configurations while implementing new TLS 1.3 inspection capabilities. The update follows Fortinet’s commitment to PSIRT-advisory-driven patching, resolving vulnerabilities reported between Q4 2024 and Q1 2025.
