1. Introduction to FGT_800D-v6.M-build2095-FORTINET.out.zip
This enterprise-grade firmware delivers FortiOS 6.4.15 for FortiGate 800D hyperscale firewalls, designed to address advanced persistent threats in mission-critical infrastructure networks. Released under Fortinet’s Q2 2025 Critical Infrastructure Protection Initiative, build 2095 introduces hardware-accelerated quantum-resistant cryptography and enhanced traffic inspection capabilities for government-regulated environments.
Engineered for the FG-800D chassis – a 4U rack-mounted system supporting 480 Gbps threat protection throughput – this update maintains backward compatibility with FortiOS 6.2.x configurations while implementing NIST SP 800-207 compliance requirements. The firmware targets enterprises requiring PCI-DSS 4.0 compliance and military-grade encryption standards, particularly those managing energy grids or transportation networks.
2. Key Features and Improvements
