Fortinet FortiGate 2601F DC FortiGuard OT Security Service, 3-Year (FC-10-FD261-159-02-36)

Industrial networks and critical infrastructure demand a different security posture than typical enterprise IT environments. The FortiGate 2601F-DC FortiGuard OT Security Service (FC-10-FD261-159-02-36) delivers a 3-year subscription to Fortinet’s purpose-built Operational Technology security layer — four distinct capabilities that help you identify OT assets, detect threats against them, and block exploits before they reach production systems.

What the OT Security Service covers

This subscription activates the following FortiGuard OT capabilities on your FortiGate 2601F-DC:

• OT Device Detection: continuously updated signature packages identify and classify OT devices on the network, including PLCs, HMIs, SCADA components, and other industrial assets, giving you an accurate and always-current asset inventory.
• OT Vulnerability Correlation and Virtual Patching: matches detected OT devices against known CVEs and applies virtual patches directly on the firewall, mitigating exploits without requiring downtime on the production line to patch the underlying device.
• OT Application Control and IPS: purpose-built signatures recognize OT protocols such as Modbus, DNP3, IEC 61850, BACnet, and EtherNet/IP, blocking protocol-level attacks and unauthorized commands that standard IT IPS rules would miss.
• OT Dashboards and Compliance Reports: structured visibility into your OT device landscape and compliance posture, supporting regulatory frameworks such as NERC CIP and IEC 62443.

Who needs this service

This subscription is designed for organizations running OT or industrial control systems behind a FortiGate 2601F-DC:

• Critical infrastructure operators in energy, utilities, water, oil and gas, and transportation, where continuity requirements prevent patching on a typical IT schedule.
• Manufacturing and process automation environments where OT and IT networks converge and legacy equipment cannot run endpoint agents.
• Security teams that need evidence-based OT asset visibility for compliance reporting without deploying additional dedicated OT hardware.

The FortiGate 2601F-DC is a high-throughput, dual-power data center firewall deployed at large network boundaries. At this scale, OT Security is typically purchased alongside FortiCare Premium support to ensure round-the-clock incident response coverage.

Activation and delivery

This is a software subscription delivered electronically — no hardware ships. After your order is confirmed, DataCenter360.ca delivers the FortiGuard license registration code by email within 0 to 1 business days. You redeem the code via the Fortinet Support Portal (support.fortinet.com), which links it to your FortiGate serial number and activates the service. The 3-year subscription term runs from the activation date, not the purchase date, so devices in staging or pre-deployment have flexibility on when to activate.

Standalone service vs. the FortiGuard bundles

The FortiGuard ATP, UTP, and Enterprise bundles do not include OT Security. This is an à-la-carte service ordered separately for environments where OT protection is required. Purchasing it standalone lets you layer OT coverage on top of whichever bundle tier already covers your IT security needs without replacing your existing subscription. If your FortiGate 2601F-DC is running the Enterprise bundle and you need OT coverage, this service is the direct path. If you have not yet deployed a bundle and need both, contact DataCenter360.ca for a combined quote.
