Fortinet FortiGate 400E-BYPASS FortiGuard OT Security Service, 3-Year (FC-10-F4HBE-159-02-36)

OT networks running on SCADA systems, PLCs, and industrial control hardware face a threat landscape that standard IT security tools were not designed to address. FC-10-F4HBE-159-02-36 is a 3-year FortiGuard OT Security subscription for the FortiGate 400E-BYPASS, extending Fortinet’s threat intelligence into operational technology environments where conventional network inspection leaves blind spots.

What the OT Security Service Covers

This subscription activates four integrated OT capabilities directly on the FortiGate 400E-BYPASS:

• OT Device Detection: A continuously updated signature package identifies and catalogs OT and ICS devices on your network, including PLCs, RTUs, HMIs, and industrial sensors. Device metadata feeds into FortiOS visibility dashboards for real-time inventory.
• OT Vulnerability Correlation: Cross-references known CVEs against the specific OT devices detected on your network, surfacing actual exploitability rather than generic vulnerability counts.
• OT Virtual Patching: Where patching OT equipment is operationally risky or impractical, the FortiGate applies IPS-based virtual patches to block exploits targeting those devices without touching the endpoints themselves.
• OT Application Control and IPS Signatures: Extends FortiGuard IPS and application control with signatures for industrial protocols, including Modbus, DNP3, EtherNet/IP, IEC 60870-5-104, and other OT-specific communications.

The service also enables OT dashboards and compliance reports within FortiOS, giving security teams a dedicated view of OT device inventory, risk posture, and compliance alignment with frameworks such as NERC CIP and IEC 62443.

Who Needs This Service

This subscription is most relevant where IT and OT networks converge. Energy utilities, manufacturing facilities, water treatment plants, oil and gas operations, and critical infrastructure operators all run equipment that cannot tolerate downtime for patching. The FortiGate 400E-BYPASS supports inline bypass operation to maintain network continuity during maintenance, and the OT Security subscription ensures that firewall is actively inspecting industrial protocol traffic, not just standard TCP flows.

Security teams responsible for ICS/SCADA compliance who have the FortiGate 400E-BYPASS already deployed can add this subscription to extend inspection to OT traffic. Organizations working toward NERC CIP or ICS-CERT alignment will find the compliance reporting dashboards directly applicable to audit workflows.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-F4HBE-159-02-36 is an electronic subscription license. After purchase, Fortinet delivers the license key by email, and you register it to your FortiGate 400E-BYPASS serial number through the FortiCare support portal. The 3-year term begins from the registration date, or it can extend an existing contract from its current expiry date via co-term. Delivery is fully electronic and reaches any country, with no hardware shipment required.

This Service and the FortiGuard Bundle Tiers

The OT Security service (SKU code -159-) sits outside the standard ATP, UTP, and Enterprise FortiGuard bundle tiers. Those bundles cover IT-focused services such as IPS, antimalware, URL filtering, and DNS security. The OT Security subscription extends coverage into industrial protocols and device identification, and the two are complementary rather than overlapping.

Organizations that want full IT-and-OT protection typically deploy a FortiGuard bundle alongside this OT Security subscription. If your FortiGate 400E-BYPASS does not yet carry a base FortiGuard bundle, adding one of the 3-year bundle subscriptions alongside this service provides layered coverage across both environments.
