Fortinet FortiWeb VM04 FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention, 1-Year (FC-10-VVM04-589-02-12)

Web applications routing moderate to high transaction volumes through a 4 vCPU virtual WAF often process larger quantities of sensitive customer data per day: personal records, payment information, account details. FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention adds outbound content inspection to the FortiWeb VM04, scanning HTTP responses for sensitive data patterns and blocking or masking matches before they leave the environment, without adding a separate appliance or management layer.

Overview

FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention (svc 589) extends the FortiWeb VM04 with response-side content inspection. Using pattern libraries maintained by FortiGuard, the service identifies personally identifiable information, payment card numbers matching recognized card network formats, and other configurable sensitive data categories within HTTP responses and request bodies. When a pattern match is detected, the VM04 can block the response, mask the sensitive value within it, or log the incident for analyst review. Inspection is applied in-line at the throughput levels the VM04 handles, without a separate processing stage. The FortiGuard library updates through the subscription as data formats and regulatory categories evolve. This is a 1-year annual add-on for the VM04 appliance.

Who it suits

Applications that serve customer-facing data through the VM04, such as e-commerce checkout flows, healthcare portals, or financial account views, carry elevated regulatory exposure if sensitive fields appear in HTTP responses unintentionally. FortiGuard DLP is most relevant where backend application controls are incomplete or where legacy applications cannot reliably suppress sensitive fields from API responses. Teams working toward PCI DSS compliance benefit from a documented WAF-layer outbound inspection control covering cardholder data across the VM04’s mid-range traffic volumes. Delivery is electronic with no hardware requirement, activating globally.
