Fortinet FortiGate 2601F DC FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention, 1-Year (FC-10-FD261-589-02-12)

Sensitive data moving across your network is at risk the moment it leaves a controlled boundary. The FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention (DLP) service for the FortiGate 2601F-DC (SKU: FC-10-FD261-589-02-12) adds a 1-year subscription that gives your firewall the intelligence to recognize and block unauthorized data transfers in transit, without requiring a separate DLP appliance or gateway.

What the FortiGuard DLP Service Covers

The DLP service extends the FortiGate 2601F-DC’s deep-packet inspection with a continuously updated pattern database maintained by FortiGuard Labs. It scans traffic at wire speed and triggers policy actions when a match is found:

• Fingerprint-based pattern matching for credit card numbers (PCI-DSS), social security numbers, and other regulated data types
• Custom dictionaries and regex patterns you define for organization-specific data (source code, contract numbers, healthcare identifiers)
• Real-time inspection of HTTP, HTTPS (with SSL inspection enabled), SMTP, FTP, and other common protocols
• Policy actions include block, log, quarantine, or alert with no user disruption for allow-and-log flows
• Database updates from FortiGuard Labs flow automatically, keeping pattern coverage current without manual intervention

On the FortiGate 2601F-DC, DLP inspection runs alongside the platform’s NP7 and CP9 hardware acceleration, so adding the service does not create a throughput bottleneck on a device built to handle 25 Gbps of threat-protected traffic.

Who Needs This Service

Organizations that handle regulated data, especially those subject to PCI-DSS, HIPAA, or provincial privacy legislation, need network-layer DLP to demonstrate that sensitive data cannot leave the perimeter undetected. The FortiGate 2601F-DC targets large enterprise and carrier environments: if your firewall is in a data center or at the edge of a high-throughput campus network, this service adds a compliance control that endpoint DLP alone cannot cover (endpoints can be bypassed; the firewall cannot).

Security teams running a Security Operations Center benefit from the logging and alert integration: DLP events appear in FortiAnalyzer and FortiSIEM alongside IPS and web filter events, giving analysts a single view of policy violations rather than a separate console.

DLP in the FortiGuard Bundle Matrix

The FortiGuard DLP service is available as a standalone subscription (this SKU) or as part of the Enterprise Protection bundle. It is not included in the UTP or ATP bundles. If your FortiGate 2601F-DC already runs the Enterprise bundle, DLP is already covered.

If you are building a full security stack for the 2601F-DC, the Enterprise Protection bundle combines DLP with IPS, AV, web filtering, CASB, and FortiCare Premium in a single subscription. The standalone DLP SKU suits environments that already have separate subscriptions for other services and need to add only the data-exfiltration layer.
