Introduction to FGT_900D-v6.M-build2060-FORTINET.out Software
This firmware release delivers enterprise-grade security hardening for FortiGate 900D series appliances running FortiOS 6.4.11. Designed for hyperscale data center deployments requiring 100Gbps threat protection, build 2060 addresses 6 CVEs while optimizing deep packet inspection performance across distributed network architectures.
Compatible with FortiGate 900D, 900D-HV, and 900D-POE chassis configurations, this maintenance update was released on April 23, 2025 (Security Advisory FG-IR-25-168). It preserves backward compatibility with FortiOS 6.4.x policy sets while introducing enhanced flow-based intrusion prevention for encrypted traffic.
