Fortinet FortiGate 1801F-DC Data Loss Prevention Service, 1-Year (FC-10-D18F1-589-02-12)

Data exfiltration rarely announces itself with a firewall alert; it looks like normal traffic carrying data that shouldn’t be leaving the network. FC-10-D18F1-589-02-12 is the standalone, 1-year FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention subscription for the FortiGate 1801F-DC, Fortinet’s DC-powered, SSD-equipped member of the 1800F chassis platform built for telco central offices and DC-powered data-center racks. It’s an à la carte add-on for teams that want DLP without moving the whole appliance onto the Enterprise Protection tier.

What this license covers

Activating FC-10-D18F1-589-02-12 against a FortiGate 1801F-DC turns on FortiGuard’s Data Loss Prevention profile: a comprehensive database of predefined patterns (credit card numbers, national ID formats, and other regulated data types) that the firewall inspects traffic against in real time, flagging or blocking matches before sensitive data leaves the network. The service ties to FortiGuard licensing keyed to the unit’s serial number, so DLP dictionaries and pattern definitions stay current without a separate installer. On the 1800F platform, which the Fortinet datasheet rates at up to 22 Gbps IPS and 17 Gbps NGFW throughput, DLP inspection runs inline without becoming the chokepoint for high-volume DC traffic.

DLP vs the FortiGuard bundles

DLP is not part of every FortiGuard tier for the 1800F/1801F platform. It’s an Enterprise-only service: ATP and UTP subscribers don’t get it unless they buy it separately, which is exactly what this SKU is for.

Buying DLP on its own keeps a UTP or ATP-licensed 1801F-DC on its existing tier while closing the data-loss gap. If the unit is already going to need AI-based inline malware prevention and attack surface visibility too, moving the whole license to the Enterprise bundle usually costs less than stacking multiple à la carte services.

Who needs standalone DLP

This SKU fits organizations under a compliance mandate (PCI DSS, healthcare data rules, or similar) that specifically requires outbound data inspection but is otherwise satisfied with UTP or ATP-level threat protection. It also suits environments handling regulated data, like finance or healthcare processing centers running behind a DC-powered 1801F-DC, where credit card or ID-number leakage carries its own audit and reporting requirements separate from general malware defense.

Activation & delivery

FC-10-D18F1-589-02-12 is delivered electronically. There’s no physical shipment: DataCenter360.ca emails the license certificate and activation steps after checkout, typically within one business day, and the entitlement registers against the FortiGate 1801F-DC unit’s serial number through the FortiCare portal. Because delivery is electronic, this license can be purchased and activated by customers anywhere in the world, independent of where the hardware itself was sourced.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca issues this license as an authorized Fortinet Select Partner, so the certificate registers cleanly against FortiCare with no gray-market questions to resolve later. Checkout is encrypted end to end, and since this is a license rather than a physical unit, the same fast electronic delivery applies no matter which country the order ships to.
