Fortinet FortiGate 31G OT Security Service, 1-Year (FC-10-GT31G-159-02-12)

Industrial networks run on protocols that standard firewalls cannot read. Modbus, DNP3, IEC 60870-5-104, EtherNet/IP — these are the communication backbone of PLCs, RTUs, SCADA systems, and field devices. The FortiGate 31G 1-Year FortiGuard OT Security Service (FC-10-GT31G-159-02-12) gives your FortiGate 31G the signatures, dashboards, and detection logic to work in those environments. It bridges the gap between a conventional IT firewall and an OT-aware security policy.

What the OT Security Service Provides

Once activated, the FortiGuard OT Security Service extends FortiOS with a dedicated layer of operational technology intelligence:

• OT dashboards and compliance reports that display your industrial asset landscape in a purpose-built view
• OT application and service detection covering 80+ industrial protocols with payload-level visibility
• OT vulnerability correlation, mapping known CVEs to detected devices and their firmware versions
• OT virtual patching via IPS signatures, shielding devices that cannot be patched or taken offline
• OT-specific Application Control and IPS rule sets updated continuously through FortiGuard Labs

This service runs directly on the FortiGate 31G without additional hardware. It is a software-only addition that unlocks FortiOS’s OT detection capabilities using the device’s existing SPU processing.

Who This Subscription Suits

The FortiGate 31G fits well in smaller industrial deployments: an edge firewall protecting a remote substation, a manufacturing cell, or a building management system with a handful of field devices. If you are deploying the 31G as a segmentation layer between IT and OT networks, this service makes that segmentation policy-aware rather than just port-based. It is also a practical entry point for organizations moving from firewall-only OT protection toward a structured network segmentation architecture.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-GT31G-159-02-12 is a 1-year subscription license delivered electronically. DataCenter360.ca typically ships the license key within 0–1 business days of order confirmation. Apply it through the FortiGate licensing interface or the FortiCare portal and the OT dashboards and detection rules become active immediately. No site visit or hardware change is required.

One Service vs. the Full Bundle

The FortiGuard OT Security Service is not included in any FortiGuard bundle tier for the FortiGate 31G. It is an à-la-carte subscription, added on top of whatever other FortiGuard services your device already runs. Organizations that need both OT visibility and full threat protection run OT Security alongside a bundle or individual service subscriptions. Contact DataCenter360.ca for help scoping the right combination.
