Fortinet FortiGate 600F FortiGuard IPS Service, 1-Year (FC-10-0600F-108-02-12)

Intrusion prevention is the layer most teams want current at all times, because it is what stops a known exploit from reaching an unpatched host. The FortiGate 600F 1-Year FortiGuard IPS Service (FC-10-0600F-108-02-12) keeps that engine fed for a full year, delivering FortiGuard IPS signatures and virtual patching to a 600F. It is a subscription license only, no hardware included, and it is issued electronically to any country.

What this service covers

The subscription drives the FortiGate 600F intrusion prevention system for the entire term:

• FortiGuard IPS signatures: a continuously updated feed covering known vulnerabilities, exploits, and network attack patterns, applied through deep packet inspection across supported protocols.
• Virtual patching: shields systems that cannot be patched immediately by blocking the exploit traffic that targets a disclosed CVE, buying time between vulnerability disclosure and a maintenance window.
• Protocol decoders and rate-based detection: normalize traffic and flag anomalies such as floods and scans, with support for administrator-defined custom signatures.

New signatures publish from FortiGuard Labs as fresh threats are analyzed, so the 600F tracks the current threat landscape without manual rule authoring.

Who needs the standalone service

This fits a 600F where IPS is the specific renewal or addition in question, for example a firewall that already holds web filtering or a FortiCare contract, or a segmentation gateway whose main job is blocking lateral exploit traffic. If the appliance has no active security subscriptions at all, a bundle that includes IPS is usually the more economical starting point.

Standalone IPS vs. the subscription bundles

IPS is included in every FortiGuard bundle tier for the 600F, from ATP up to Enterprise. This license delivers the IPS engine on its own. The matrix below shows what each bundle adds around it:

If more than intrusion prevention is needed, the ATP subscription (FC-10-0600F-928-02-12) is the entry bundle that pairs IPS with malware protection and sandboxing, while UTP (FC-10-0600F-950-02-12) and Enterprise (FC-10-0600F-809-02-12) widen coverage further.

Activation and delivery

The license is registered electronically to a single FortiGate 600F by serial number. Once active, IPS signature updates push to the appliance for the full 12 months. There is nothing to ship, and a valid 600F is required before activation.
