Fortinet FortiGate 401E-DC FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention, 1-Year (FC-10-D4H1E-589-02-12)

Network data loss prevention closes a gap that firewall rules alone cannot address: outbound traffic carrying sensitive files, credentials, or regulated data. The FortiGuard DLP Service for the FortiGate 401E-DC (FC-10-D4H1E-589-02-12) adds inline content inspection at the network perimeter, identifying and blocking data-in-transit that matches configured patterns — PCI card numbers, health records, source code, or any custom fingerprint your policy defines.

What FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention Covers

FortiGuard DLP works at the firewall layer to inspect traffic moving through the FortiGate 401E-DC. The service applies pre-built and custom data patterns across protocols including HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, SMTP, and IMAP. Key capabilities include:

• Pattern-based detection for PII, financial data, and regulated content (PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR frameworks)
• Custom fingerprinting for proprietary documents and source code repositories
• Inspection across clear and SSL/TLS-encrypted sessions (requires an active SSL inspection profile)
• Block, monitor, or quarantine actions per policy rule
• Ongoing FortiGuard signature database updates for evolving DLP pattern libraries

Who Uses This Service

Existing FortiGate 401E-DC deployments where data exfiltration controls are a compliance or security requirement are the primary use case. Common scenarios:

• Finance and healthcare environments meeting data-residency and breach-notification mandates
• Enterprises that need documented evidence of outbound data controls during compliance audits
• IT teams renewing DLP on an existing 401E-DC without migrating to a newer appliance
• Security architects who prefer a targeted single-service subscription rather than a full bundle replacement

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-D4H1E-589-02-12 is an electronic subscription — nothing physical ships. After purchase, DataCenter360.ca delivers the activation key by email, typically within one business day. The key is applied through the FortiGate dashboard under System > FortiGuard > License, or via FortiManager for centrally managed environments. The 1-year term runs from the date of activation on the appliance.

Standalone DLP Service vs. the Enterprise Bundle

FortiGuard DLP is available as a standalone subscription, but it is also included exclusively in the Enterprise Protection bundle for the FortiGate 401E-DC. It does not appear in the UTP or ATP bundles. The table below shows where DLP sits relative to the three security bundle tiers:

If the FortiGate 401E-DC is currently running a UTP or ATP bundle and DLP is a new compliance requirement, the Enterprise Protection bundle (FC-10-D4H1E-809-02-12) covers DLP alongside every other bundle service under a single annual subscription. For deployments where DLP is the only missing piece, this standalone SKU is the more targeted option.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca
