Fortinet FortiGate 1801F OT Security Service, 3-Year (FC-10-F18F1-159-02-36)

Operational technology networks run protocols and devices that a standard NGFW signature set was never built to parse. FC-10-F18F1-159-02-36 is the 3-year FortiGuard OT Security subscription for the FortiGate 1801F, and it closes that gap: OT-aware device detection, vulnerability-based virtual patching, and Application Control/IPS signatures written for industrial protocols and SCADA/ICS traffic.

What this license covers

OT Security is a single a la carte service layered on top of the 1801F’s existing FortiCare and FortiGuard entitlements. Over the 3-year term it keeps three capabilities current:

• OT device detection: an up-to-date signature package that identifies and profiles OT devices on the network, including equipment the base device database misses.
• OT vulnerability correlation and virtual patching: matches connected OT assets against known exploits and applies targeted virtual patches on the FortiGate without touching the device firmware.
• OT Application Control and IPS: additional signatures purpose-built for industrial applications and protocols, so policy enforcement and intrusion prevention actually understand ICS/SCADA traffic instead of treating it as unknown.

Who needs this

This is the right license for teams running a FortiGate 1801F at the boundary of, or inside, an OT environment: manufacturing plants, utilities, process control networks, and any site where IT and OT segments meet at the firewall. If the 1801F is only inspecting corporate/IT traffic, this service adds little; it earns its cost the moment industrial protocols and OT devices are in scope.

Activation and delivery

Delivery is electronic and worldwide: DataCenter360.ca issues the license against the unit’s serial number and it activates through FortiCare/FortiGuard, no hardware ships with this SKU. Because it’s a standalone add-on rather than part of a bundle, it can be ordered alongside a new 1801F purchase or added to a unit already in production, and it’s straightforward to co-term with the device’s other FortiGuard and FortiCare renewal dates so everything expires on one schedule.

One service, not a bundle line item

OT Security sits outside the standard Enterprise, UTP, and ATP FortiGuard bundles; it isn’t included in any of them and has to be ordered separately regardless of which bundle tier the 1801F runs. Sites that also need broader web, DNS, and malware protection should keep (or add) the corresponding bundle for the 1801F and layer this OT service on top for the industrial-specific coverage the bundles don’t include.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner, and licenses like this one are processed and delivered the same way anywhere in the world: place the order, and the OT Security entitlement lands on the 1801F’s FortiCare account without waiting on a shipment. For sites managing multiple FortiGate 1801F units across different regions, that electronic delivery model keeps OT license renewals simple to track and to co-term.
