Fortinet FortiGate 40F OT Security Service, 3-Year (FC-10-0040F-159-02-36)

When a FortiGate 40F is placed at the boundary between an OT network and corporate infrastructure, the standard firewall ruleset does not automatically understand industrial protocols or recognize a PLC by its network behavior. FC-10-0040F-159-02-36 adds FortiGuard OT Security to that 40F for three years, giving the firewall the intelligence to identify industrial devices, correlate their vulnerabilities, and apply virtual patches — without any changes to the OT equipment itself.

What This Service Activates

The 3-year OT Security subscription (FC-10-0040F-159-02-36) enables the following on your FortiGate 40F:

• OT Device Detection — passive identification and classification of PLCs, HMIs, RTUs, and sensors on the OT segment
• OT Vulnerability Correlation — continuous mapping of detected devices against known industrial CVEs
• OT Virtual Patching — IPS rules that block known exploits targeting unpatched industrial firmware, applied at the firewall without touching the OT device
• Industrial Protocol IPS and App Control — policy enforcement and signature coverage for Modbus, DNP3, EtherNet/IP, BACnet, and other OT protocols
• OT Dashboards and Compliance Reports — a dedicated visibility panel in FortiOS for the OT environment with compliance-aligned reporting outputs

Who This Service Suits

Manufacturers, building automation operators, utilities, and critical infrastructure teams use OT Security on FortiGates that protect industrial floors or process control networks. The 3-year term fits organizations planning a mid-cycle hardware refresh — long enough to cover the current operational period without over-committing if a network redesign is already on the roadmap within the next few years.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-0040F-159-02-36 is an electronic license delivered to your inbox, typically within one business day. Register the key against your FortiGate 40F in the Fortinet Support Portal (support.fortinet.com) and OT signatures, device detection, and dashboards activate on the next policy sync. There is no physical shipment.

OT Security vs. Standard Security Bundles

FortiGuard bundles address IT-layer threats such as malware, web categories, and general network intrusion. OT Security covers a different problem: industrial device visibility, OT protocol-aware defense, and CVE correlation specific to ICS equipment. It is not included in any bundle tier. Organizations already running a UTP or Enterprise bundle on their FortiGate 40F can layer OT Security on top, with both licenses operating independently on the same serial number.
