Fortinet FortiGate 1100E FortiGuard OT Security Service, 3-Year (FC-10-F11HE-159-02-36)

Industrial networks present a different attack surface from IT environments. Protocols like Modbus, DNP3, and PROFINET don’t behave like HTTP, and the devices behind them often run firmware that was never designed with patching in mind. The FortiGate 1100E FortiGuard OT Security Service (FC-10-F11HE-159-02-36) activates a dedicated OT security layer on an existing FortiGate 1100E installation: three years of FortiGuard-maintained signatures, dashboards, and virtual patching built specifically for operational technology environments.

What the OT Security Service covers

This subscription activates four distinct OT-focused capabilities on the FortiGate 1100E:

• OT device detection — a continuously updated signature library identifies OT device manufacturers, models, and roles on the network so assets are visible before they can be targeted.
• OT vulnerability correlation — known vulnerabilities in detected OT devices are correlated against the current exploit landscape, surfacing risk before an attacker can act on it.
• OT virtual patching — the FortiGate applies IPS virtual patches to block exploitation of vulnerabilities in OT devices that cannot be taken offline for firmware updates.
• OT application control and IPS signatures — an extended rule set covers industrial protocols and applications (Modbus, DNP3, EtherNet/IP, and others), blocking OT-specific attack traffic at the firewall.

The service also provides OT-specific dashboards and compliance reports, giving security and operations teams a consolidated view of their OT posture without leaving the FortiGate interface.

Who needs this subscription

This service is designed for organizations that run operational technology alongside or separate from their IT network and need purpose-built visibility and protection rather than IT-generic controls. Typical buyers include:

• Manufacturing, energy, utilities, and industrial facilities running PLCs, SCADA systems, or DCS networks
• Critical infrastructure operators required to meet compliance frameworks like NERC CIP or IEC 62443
• Organizations that cannot patch OT devices in place and rely on virtual patching to block known exploits
• Enterprises that have already deployed FortiGate 1100E firewalls at OT perimeters and want to activate OT-tier coverage

The 3-year term suits OT environments where service alignment to long maintenance cycles and budget planning horizons matters. For organizations with shorter or longer planning windows, the 1-year and 5-year terms of the same service are also available from DataCenter360.ca.

Activation and delivery

This is an electronic license. After purchase, DataCenter360.ca delivers the activation key by email, typically within the same business day. Registration is completed through the Fortinet Support Portal (support.fortinet.com): the key is applied to the existing FortiGate 1100E serial number, and OT Security capabilities are active on the next FortiGuard content update cycle.

No hardware changes are required. The FortiGate 1100E already supports the OT Security Service; this subscription unlocks the OT detection engine, signature feeds, and compliance dashboards that were previously inactive.

This service versus a FortiGuard bundle

FortiGuard ATP, UTP, and Enterprise Protection bundles cover IT-centric security services (IPS, advanced malware protection, URL/DNS filtering, anti-spam, and others), but the OT Security Service is not included in any of those bundles. It is an à-la-carte add-on that runs alongside a bundle or alongside individual IT-security licenses. A FortiGate 1100E running the Enterprise bundle plus this OT Security Service subscription gets both a comprehensive IT security posture and OT-specific coverage on one platform.

If FortiCare technical support coverage is also a requirement, FortiCare Premium (FC-10-F11HE-247-02-12) can be paired with this subscription independently.
