Fortinet FortiGate 3000F FortiGuard IPS Service, 1-Year (FC-10-F3K0F-108-02-12)

At data-center scale, the FortiGate 3000F processes millions of sessions simultaneously. Keeping its intrusion prevention engine fed with current signatures is not optional — it is the line between detecting an active exploit and letting it pass. The FC-10-F3K0F-108-02-12 subscription renews one year of FortiGuard IPS Service for the FortiGate 3000F, maintaining continuous signature updates, protocol-level detection, and virtual patching from Fortinet’s global threat research teams.

What FortiGuard IPS Service covers

FortiGuard IPS Service activates and sustains the intrusion prevention layer of FortiOS on the 3000F. Specifically, it provides:

• Signature-based detection against thousands of known CVEs, exploits, and protocol anomalies, updated in real time as Fortinet’s FortiGuard Labs publishes new intelligence
• Virtual patching that protects against newly disclosed vulnerabilities before vendor patches or firmware updates can be applied
• AI/ML-assisted traffic analysis to detect behavioural patterns associated with emerging threats, complementing the signature library
• Local malicious URL database updates that enable IPS to block drive-by exploit and botnet command-and-control traffic at the network layer
• Protocol decoder updates for deep inspection of HTTP, DNS, SMB, and other traffic types

Who orders this subscription

This SKU is typically purchased by organizations that carry an existing FortiCare Premium contract and need to renew or extend the standalone IPS subscription for a FortiGate 3000F. Common scenarios include expiring IPS-only terms in a co-managed environment, proof-of-concept segments where only network-layer IPS is in scope, or multi-vendor deployments where the 3000F handles east-west IPS inspection while other tools cover endpoint and email security.

IPS alone versus a FortiGuard bundle

This subscription activates only the IPS layer. Each FortiGuard bundle includes IPS as a baseline component alongside a broader set of services. The table below shows where IPS sits within the ATP, UTP, and Enterprise bundle tiers:

If the environment calls for broader threat coverage, the ATP, UTP, or Enterprise bundles for the FortiGate 3000F deliver IPS as part of an integrated security layer rather than as a standalone subscription.
