Fortinet FortiGate 40F OT Security Service, 5-Year (FC-10-0040F-159-02-60)

Industrial and OT networks running SCADA controllers, PLCs, or process automation equipment alongside standard IT assets require visibility that a general-purpose firewall policy alone cannot provide. The FortiGuard OT Security Service, 5-Year (FC-10-0040F-159-02-60) extends your FortiGate 40F with purpose-built industrial device detection, vulnerability correlation, virtual patching, and OT protocol signatures — keeping that coverage active for five consecutive years without the overhead of annual renewals.

What OT Security Turns On

FC-10-0040F-159-02-60 activates these capabilities on your FortiGate 40F:

• OT Device Detection — passively identifies and classifies industrial devices (PLCs, HMIs, RTUs, sensors) on connected segments
• OT Vulnerability Correlation — maps detected devices against known CVEs specific to industrial control systems
• OT Virtual Patching — applies FortiGuard-maintained IPS rules to block known exploits against unpatched or legacy OT equipment
• Industrial Protocol IPS and App Control — enforces policy and blocks malicious traffic on Modbus, DNP3, EtherNet/IP, BACnet, and other OT protocols
• OT Dashboards and Compliance Reports — dedicated FortiOS view of the OT attack surface with compliance-aligned reporting

Who Deploys This Service

OT Security is used by manufacturers, utilities, water treatment facilities, energy sector operators, and any organization where IT and OT networks converge on a FortiGate. It suits both dedicated OT gateways where the FortiGate 40F segments an industrial DMZ, and converged environments where the same firewall handles both corporate and floor-level traffic. The 5-year term is preferred at sites where operational continuity matters more than procurement flexibility — locking in coverage removes the annual renewal touchpoint entirely.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-0040F-159-02-60 is an electronic subscription key delivered by e-mail, typically within one business day. Register the key against your FortiGate 40F serial number in the Fortinet Support Portal (support.fortinet.com) and OT signatures, device detection, and dashboards activate on the next policy sync. No hardware ships.

OT Security and Standard Security Bundles

Standard FortiGuard bundles (ATP, UTP, Enterprise) cover IT-layer threats: malware, web filtering, general network IPS, and C2 blocking. OT Security addresses a different layer — industrial device visibility and protocol-aware defense — and is not included in any bundle tier. Many deployments run OT Security alongside a UTP or Enterprise bundle: the bundle handles IT traffic, OT Security handles the industrial layer. The two licenses coexist on the same device without overlap.
