Fortinet FortiGate 1101E Managed FortiGate Service (NOC), 1-Year (FC-10-F11E1-660-02-12)

Running a FortiGate 1101E in a production environment means handling firewall rule changes, monitoring PSIRT advisories, executing firmware upgrades, and managing policy across a high-throughput perimeter device — all while keeping the business running. The FC-10-F11E1-660-02-12 offloads that operational work to Fortinet’s own Network Operations Center for twelve months, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

What the Managed FortiGate Service Covers

This 1-Year subscription activates Managed FortiGate Service (MFGS) on the FortiGate 1101E. Fortinet’s SOC2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified NOC team takes responsibility across three phases:

• Deploy: Initial device configuration per Fortinet best practices, covering NGFW, Secure SD-WAN, Remote Access, LAN Edge (FortiAP, FortiSwitch), and Security Fabric scenarios.
• Operate: Continuous firewall rule and policy management via an ITIL-aligned change process with four-eyes approval, role separation, revision history, and a change-schedule calendar.
• Optimize: Proactive PSIRT vulnerability tracking with automated patching for medium-and-higher-severity issues, security posture assessments against Fortinet guidelines, and expert-led firmware upgrades.

The service integrates through FortiCloud and FortiManager Cloud. A dedicated MFGS portal gives real-time visibility into every managed activity, and the management tunnel is monitored continuously — a proactive service request fires automatically if the tunnel drops for 10 minutes or more.

Who Needs This Service

The FC-10-F11E1-660-02-12 is a fit for IT teams that have deployed the FortiGate 1101E as a core perimeter device and need operational firewall management without building an internal NOC. It also supports MSSPs managing FortiGate devices for clients who want Fortinet’s own certified engineers behind their change-management workflow. If firmware patching and policy drift are taking time away from higher-value security work, this service addresses that directly.

Activation and Delivery

Delivery is electronic and takes 0–1 business days. After purchase you receive a contract code. Register it in your FortiCloud account, associate it to the target FortiGate 1101E unit, then open the MFGS portal and complete the onboarding wizard. No hardware ships. The service carries no geographic restriction — Fortinet’s NOC operates from data centers in Burnaby (Canada), Dallas (USA), Frankfurt (Germany), and Tokyo (Japan), providing 24×7 coverage across North America, EMEA, and APAC.

This Service vs. a Full Subscription Bundle

The Managed FortiGate Service (660) covers operational management: configurations, policies, patching, and change control. It does not include the FortiGuard threat intelligence feeds (IPS signatures, URL filtering, antivirus) that come with a UTP or Enterprise subscription, nor does it replace FortiCare hardware support. Many organizations pair this service with a FortiGuard bundle so the NOC team operates a device also receiving live threat intelligence. The FC-10-F11E1-950-02-12 (UTP, 1-Year) and FC-10-F11E1-809-02-12 (Enterprise, 1-Year) are natural complements, as is the FC-10-F11E1-247-02-12 for FortiCare Premium hardware support.
