1. Introduction to FGT_81F-v6-build1378-FORTINET.out.zip

This firmware package (build 1378) delivers FortiOS 6.4.15 for FortiGate 81F next-generation firewalls, designed for distributed branch offices requiring 5Gbps threat protection with integrated SD-WAN capabilities. Released in Q3 2025 under Fortinet’s Security Fabric Enhancement Program, this update addresses 11 critical vulnerabilities identified in prior versions while introducing hardware-accelerated TLS 1.3 decryption for encrypted traffic inspection.

The 81F model serves small-to-medium enterprises needing zero-trust network access (ZTNA) across 1Gbps/10Gbps interfaces. This build enhances IoT security through improved device fingerprinting algorithms and expands compatibility with FortiManager 7.4.0+ centralized management systems.
