1. Introduction to vsigupdate-OS5.4.0_91.958.ETDB.High.pkg

This security intelligence package delivers critical updates for Fortinet’s Unified Threat Management (UTM) ecosystem, specifically designed to enhance intrusion prevention (IPS) and advanced persistent threat detection capabilities. The “ETDB.High” designation indicates its optimized deployment for high-throughput network environments handling over 10Gbps traffic.

Compatible with FortiGate firewalls running FortiOS 5.4.x, this build (91.958) was released in Q1 2025 as part of FortiGuard Labs’ quarterly threat intelligence refresh cycle. It addresses emerging attack patterns observed in ransomware campaigns and state-sponsored cyber operations.
