Fortinet FortiGate 1801F Data Loss Prevention (DLP), 1-Year (FC-10-F18F1-589-02-12)

Compliance teams asking “can we prove sensitive data isn’t leaving the network” usually need more than a firewall policy. The FortiGate 1801F 1-Year FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention Service (FC-10-F18F1-589-02-12) adds pattern-based DLP scanning to a FortiGate 1801F for twelve months, inspecting outbound traffic for credit card numbers, government IDs, and other predefined sensitive-data patterns before they leave the network. Subscription only, no hardware, delivered electronically worldwide.

What this service covers

Data Loss Prevention on the FortiGate 1801F runs against a built-in library of predefined sensitive-data patterns:

• Pattern matching: credit card numbers, social security numbers, and other regulated-data formats are detected in traffic crossing the firewall, using FortiGuard’s maintained pattern database rather than hand-built regex rules.
• Content inspection across protocols: DLP policies apply to web, email, and file-transfer traffic passing through the FortiGate 1801F, including files and images where OCR-based detection applies.
• Policy actions: matched traffic can be logged, blocked, or quarantined depending on the sensitivity profile assigned, giving security teams an enforcement point rather than just a visibility report.

The FortiGate 1801F pairs NP7 network processing with dual onboard 960GB NVMe SSDs, giving it the throughput headroom (up to 22 Gbps IPS) to run DLP inspection alongside other security profiles without becoming the bottleneck in a data-center-core deployment.

Who needs standalone DLP

This license fits organizations under a compliance mandate, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, or a similar framework, that already run other FortiGuard services on the 1801F and need to close the data-exfiltration gap specifically. It also suits environments with an existing UTP subscription that want to add Enterprise-only DLP coverage without stepping up the entire bundle. If the 1801F carries no active FortiGuard subscriptions yet, the Enterprise bundle is the more direct path since DLP is bundled in at that tier.

Standalone DLP vs. the subscription bundles

Data Loss Prevention is an Enterprise-tier service for the FortiGate 1801F; it is not part of the ATP or UTP bundle scope. Buying this license adds DLP on its own. The table below shows where DLP sits against the other FortiGuard services:

If broader coverage is the goal alongside DLP, the Enterprise subscription (FC-10-F18F1-809-02-12) includes this service plus the full IPS, malware, filtering, and OT stack in one package rather than layering standalone licenses.

Activation and delivery

The license is issued electronically and registered to a specific FortiGate 1801F by serial number. Once applied, DLP pattern databases and policy updates push to the appliance for the full 12-month term. Nothing ships. A valid FortiGate 1801F with an active firmware license is required before activation.
