Introduction to FGT_60F-v6.M-build2095-FORTINET.out.zip

This firmware update (v6.M-build2095) delivers critical security enhancements for Fortinet’s FortiGate 60F next-generation firewall, specifically optimized for small-to-medium business networks. Released in Q2 2025, the build addresses 7 high-risk vulnerabilities including fixes for SSL-VPN session hijacking risks, while maintaining compatibility with FortiOS 7.4.4+ configurations.

Designed exclusively for the FortiGate 60F platform, the firmware leverages Fortinet’s proprietary Security Processing Unit (SPU) to achieve 5 Gbps threat inspection throughput – a 30% performance improvement over previous builds. The naming convention “FGT_60F” identifies the target hardware, with “v6.M-build2095” indicating the major release branch containing cumulative security patches.
