Fortinet FortiGate 400E FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention Service, 1-Year (FC-10-0400E-589-02-12)

Data leaving a network does not always make noise. Structured records, sensitive documents, and personally identifiable information can exit over legitimate traffic channels without triggering conventional threat signatures. The FortiGate 400E 1-Year FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention Service (FC-10-0400E-589-02-12) activates FortiGuard DLP inspection on the FortiGate 400E for twelve months, giving security teams visibility into data in transit and the controls to stop unauthorized exfiltration. Subscription license only, no hardware, delivered electronically worldwide.

What FortiGuard DLP covers

FortiGuard DLP on the FortiGate 400E inspects network traffic in real time against a library of data patterns and policies:

• Predefined dictionaries: FortiGuard delivers continuously updated DLP dictionaries covering financial identifiers, personally identifiable information (PII), healthcare data (HIPAA patterns), payment card numbers (PCI DSS), and other regulated categories. Custom dictionaries extend coverage to proprietary formats and organization-specific keywords.
• Protocol-aware inspection: DLP inspection operates across HTTP, HTTPS (with SSL inspection enabled), FTP, SMTP, and other traffic channels passing through the FortiGate 400E. Content is examined in both upload and download directions.
• File type and fingerprint controls: beyond text patterns, policies can target specific file types or apply document fingerprinting to detect known sensitive files even when renamed or partially modified.
• Enforcement actions: when a match is detected the FortiGate 400E can block, log, quarantine, or send an alert. Audit-only mode supports compliance monitoring without disrupting production traffic during initial deployment.

Who deploys DLP at the FortiGate 400E tier

The FortiGate 400E is designed for mid-to-large enterprise edge, data center perimeter, and campus core deployments. DLP at this tier is most common where compliance mandates require data inspection at the perimeter: financial services firms handling customer records, healthcare organizations subject to HIPAA, and any site where sensitive IP crosses a network gateway. Security teams with specific regulatory requirements for data-in-transit controls frequently add DLP as a targeted service alongside existing IPS or malware protection, rather than displacing those layers.

Activation and delivery

The DLP license is issued electronically and registered to a specific FortiGate 400E unit by serial number through the Fortinet support portal. Once registered, the appliance begins receiving FortiGuard DLP database updates — new dictionaries, updated pattern libraries, and revised category definitions — for the full twelve-month term. Nothing ships physically. A FortiGate 400E appliance is required before activation. Registration takes place through the Fortinet Customer Service & Support portal at support.fortinet.com.

Standalone DLP service vs. the Enterprise bundle

FortiGuard DLP for the FortiGate 400E is available as this individual subscription or as part of the Enterprise Protection bundle (FC-10-0400E-809-02-12). DLP is exclusive to the Enterprise tier — it is not included in the UTP or ATP bundles. The table below shows which FortiGuard services each bundle covers and where DLP sits in that matrix:

If the FortiGate 400E already carries IPS or AV coverage and DLP is the only remaining gap, this standalone subscription is the precise option. If comprehensive protection across all layers is the goal, the Enterprise bundle delivers DLP together with the remaining FortiGuard services at a lower combined per-service cost.
