Fortinet FortiGate 400E-BYPASS FortiGuard OT Security Service, 5-Year (FC-10-F4HBE-159-02-60)

Operational Technology environments run on protocols and devices that standard IT security was never designed to inspect. The FortiGate 400E-BYPASS OT Security Service (FC-10-F4HBE-159-02-60) delivers five years of FortiGuard-powered coverage built specifically for industrial networks: real-time OT device inventory, vulnerability-to-patch correlation, and IPS and Application Control signatures tuned for the protocols and applications that drive manufacturing floors, utility systems, and critical infrastructure.

What FortiGuard OT Security Service Covers

The service activates three integrated capabilities on the FortiGate 400E-BYPASS:

• OT Device Detection: A continuously updated signature database identifies OT devices on the network, including PLCs, RTUs, HMIs, and engineering workstations. The FortiGate can query FortiGuard servers for devices absent from the local database, giving operations teams a live, accurate asset inventory without requiring a separate OT asset management tool.
• OT Vulnerability Correlation and Virtual Patching: Known CVEs for identified OT devices are correlated against Fortinet’s threat intelligence feed. Where a patch cannot be applied, the service pushes virtual patch rules directly to the FortiGate, blocking exploit attempts at the network level without touching the OT device itself. This matters in environments where firmware updates require maintenance windows months out.
• OT Application Control and IPS: Additional signatures cover industrial protocols such as Modbus, DNP3, IEC 60870-5-104, and PROFINET, along with OT-specific application control rules. Traffic that deviates from expected behavior, such as unauthorized command writes, unexpected protocol variants, or known ICS exploit signatures, can be blocked or alerted in real time.

Who Uses This Service

The FortiGate 400E-BYPASS OT Security Service fits organizations running converged IT/OT networks: utilities, water treatment, oil and gas, automotive manufacturing, discrete manufacturing, building automation, and other sectors where industrial equipment connects to enterprise infrastructure. The BYPASS form factor is chosen for high-availability network segments where maintaining a fail-open path keeps critical systems online. Adding OT Security means those same segments gain industrial threat visibility without sacrificing uptime.

Security teams at these organizations use OT Security to close a common gap. Standard FortiGuard bundles cover IT threat surfaces thoroughly, but OT Security is the dedicated layer for the plant floor or control network, ordered separately because not every FortiGate deployment includes OT equipment.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-F4HBE-159-02-60 is an electronic license. Once your order is confirmed, DataCenter360.ca delivers the license key by email within 0 to 1 business days. Registration is handled through the FortiCare portal: the key is entered against the serial number of the FortiGate 400E-BYPASS, and the service activates immediately. No hardware shipment is involved, and delivery works the same way for customers anywhere in the world.

The 5-year term covers 60 months of continuous FortiGuard OT Security Service from the activation date. If a shorter commitment fits your budget cycle, the same service is available in 1-year and 3-year terms.

OT Security and the FortiGuard Bundles

FortiGuard OT Security Service is not included in the Enterprise, UTP, or ATP bundles. It is only available as a standalone subscription. For teams running an OT/IT-converged network, OT Security is typically ordered alongside a FortiGuard bundle or a FortiCare support contract. The UTP bundle handles web, DNS, IPS, and malware filtering for IT-side traffic; OT Security handles the industrial layer. Both run simultaneously on the same FortiGate 400E-BYPASS.

If your environment is currently IT-focused and you are evaluating OT Security for a future OT expansion, the 1-year term allows you to validate the deployment before committing to the full 5-year contract.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca holds Fortinet Select Partner status, which means orders come with direct partner support for registration, licensing questions, and co-term alignment. If you need to match the end date of this OT Security subscription to an existing FortiCare or FortiGuard contract already on the FortiGate 400E-BYPASS, reach out before placing the order and we will generate a co-term quote. License orders process worldwide, typically within one business day of payment.
