Fortinet FortiGate 30E-3G4G-GBL FortiGuard IPS Service, 1-Year (FC-10-F30EG-108-02-12)

Exploit traffic doesn’t wait for patches to roll out. The FortiGuard IPS Service (FC-10-F30EG-108-02-12) keeps the FortiGate 30E-3G4G-GBL’s intrusion prevention signatures current with Fortinet’s threat intelligence feed, blocking known exploits, protocol abuses, and DoS patterns before they reach internal systems. For a small-branch or remote-site firewall, an active IPS subscription is the difference between inspecting traffic and just routing it.

What the IPS Service Covers

This 1-year subscription maintains FortiGuard IPS signature updates on the FortiGate 30E-3G4G-GBL. Active capabilities include:

• Exploit signatures — over 6,000 signatures covering CVEs in common operating systems, browsers, and application servers. Signatures are updated as new vulnerabilities are disclosed, reducing the window between public exploit availability and protection.
• Protocol anomaly detection — the IPS engine validates that traffic conforms to expected protocol behavior. Malformed packets and protocol abuse used in evasion techniques are flagged and blocked.
• DoS protection rules — rate-based rules defend against flood attacks and connection exhaustion targeting services behind the FortiGate 30E-3G4G-GBL.
• Custom signature support — FortiOS allows administrators to write and deploy custom IPS signatures for environment-specific threats, alongside the FortiGuard feed.

Who This Service Is For

The IPS service is appropriate for any deployment where the FortiGate 30E-3G4G-GBL is doing more than basic packet filtering. Remote offices connecting to headquarters over the integrated 3G4G cellular WAN, sites accessing SaaS applications, and branch locations that process customer data all benefit from active intrusion prevention. Without a current IPS subscription, the signatures freeze at the last update date — leaving the firewall blind to exploits discovered after that point.

IPS Alone vs. the Bundle Tiers

FortiGuard IPS is part of all bundle tiers for the FortiGate 30E-3G4G-GBL. Buying the IPS service separately makes sense when you need to add protection to a specific unit without changing its overall subscription structure. The table below shows where IPS sits relative to the full bundle options:

If the site also needs antivirus and web filtering, the ATP or UTP bundle for the FortiGate 30E-3G4G-GBL covers IPS alongside those services at a lower combined price than individual subscriptions.
