Fortinet FortiGate 40F-3G4G IPS Service, 1-Year (FC-10-F40FG-108-02-12)

Intrusion prevention catches exploits that firewall policy alone cannot block — vulnerability-level attacks against services that are legitimately open. On a FortiGate 40F-3G4G running at a branch or LTE-connected remote site, the 1-Year FortiGuard IPS Service (FC-10-F40FG-108-02-12) keeps the detection engine current with Fortinet’s continuously updated signature database, covering network-layer and application-layer exploits in real time.

What the IPS Service Covers

The FortiGuard IPS subscription keeps the FortiGate 40F-3G4G’s intrusion prevention engine updated with:

• Network and application-layer IPS signatures — detects and blocks known exploits targeting servers, endpoints, and network services on both inbound and outbound traffic
• Malicious and botnet URL blocking — prevents connections to known malicious IPs and botnet command-and-control servers at the network layer
• AI/ML-based threat detection — the FortiGuard team continuously refines detection models on new attack patterns so the signature set stays ahead of evolving techniques
• Virtual patching — blocks exploitation attempts against known CVEs even before a patch is deployed on the target system
• SD-WAN IPS coverage — monitors traffic across all WAN links including the 40F-3G4G’s built-in LTE interface

IPS Service vs. the FortiGuard Bundles

FortiGuard IPS is included in all three subscription bundles. The standalone -108- service suits organizations that need IPS coverage without purchasing a full bundle:

A site that already has a web proxy or separate AV solution and only needs network-layer exploit detection will find the standalone -108- service the most direct option. For most branch deployments, the UTP bundle delivers IPS alongside URL filtering, AMP, and application control at a cost close to buying three services a-la-carte.

Who Buys This Service

Common use cases include: a branch office that already has a separate web proxy or AV appliance and needs the FortiGate 40F-3G4G for network-layer exploit detection only; an MSP that bills IPS as a discrete monthly line item; or a compliance environment requiring documented IPS coverage separate from content filtering. The 40F-3G4G’s built-in LTE backup is popular at remote sites — IPS coverage continues across both the primary WAN and the cellular failover link.
