Introduction to FGT_81F-v6.M-build2000-FORTINET-6.4.11.out

This firmware release delivers FortiOS 6.4.11 for the FortiGate 81F series, addressing 15 CVEs while enhancing threat detection efficiency through NP7 security processor optimizations. Released in Q1 2025, build2000 introduces hardware-accelerated TLS 1.3 inspection and improved SD-WAN orchestration for distributed network environments.

Designed specifically for the FG-81F hardware platform, this update supports 10Gbps firewall throughput with full UTM inspection capabilities, making it ideal for medium-sized enterprise branch deployments. The build2000 designation confirms interoperability with FortiManager 7.4.3+ for centralized policy management and FortiAnalyzer 7.2.8+ for log correlation.
