Fortinet FortiGate 3001F DC FortiGuard IPS Service, 1-Year (FC-10-FD3K1-108-02-12)

Data center firewalls carry a different inspection load than branch appliances: dense east-west server traffic, sustained high-throughput flows, and no room for performance degradation under active threat scanning. The FortiGate 3001F DC is built for exactly that environment, and FC-10-FD3K1-108-02-12 keeps its FortiGuard IPS Service current for one year, maintaining real-time intrusion prevention backed by FortiGuard Labs’ continuously updated threat intelligence.

What FortiGuard IPS covers

FortiGuard IPS applies deep packet inspection and SSL inspection to all traffic traversing the FortiGate 3001F DC. The service runs on the appliance’s NP7 and CP9 hardware accelerators, which is why IPS throughput on this platform reaches 36 Gbps without becoming a bottleneck. Specific capabilities include:

• AI/ML-driven detection of exploit attempts, protocol violations, and network anomalies in real time
• Virtual patching for newly disclosed CVEs, active before official vendor patches are available
• Command-and-control (C2) traffic identification hidden inside ordinary-looking sessions
• Continuous signature updates from FortiGuard Labs’ global sensor network

Who needs this SKU

FC-10-FD3K1-108-02-12 is a standalone IPS renewal or activation for organizations that already operate the FG-3001F-DC in production. It suits teams that:

• Manage service renewals as separate line items outside a bundle contract
• Inherited an appliance with lapsed IPS coverage and need to restore protection quickly
• Have a custom service stack where the full bundle includes services that are not needed

If the appliance has no current subscription at all, purchasing a full FortiGuard bundle typically delivers better coverage per dollar than building a stack from individual services.

Activation and delivery

This is a software subscription with no hardware component. DataCenter360.ca delivers the license key by email within 0-1 business days of payment. Activation is completed through the FortiGate 3001F DC’s GUI or CLI by entering the key against the appliance serial number. The subscription is available worldwide with no geographic restriction.

IPS alone vs. a full FortiGuard bundle

FortiGuard IPS is included across all three FortiGuard bundle tiers. Choosing the individual IPS service covers network intrusion prevention; the bundles layer in additional services at each tier.
