Fortinet FortiGate 60E-POE FortiGuard IPS Service, 1-Year (FC-10-FG60P-108-02-12)

Network-level intrusion attempts do not announce themselves. The FC-10-FG60P-108-02-12 keeps the FortiGate 60E-POE actively scanning for them for one full year: FortiGuard IPS updates signatures in near-real time and adds AI-driven behavioral analysis that catches exploit patterns before they are formally catalogued.

What This Service Activates

FortiGuard IPS on the FortiGate 60E-POE uses deep packet inspection across all traffic leaving and entering your PoE-connected network segments. Signature-based detection covers thousands of known CVEs across operating systems, web servers, databases, and application protocols. AI/ML anomaly detection flags traffic sequences that deviate from baseline behavior without requiring a specific signature match — useful for zero-day attempts and custom exploit tooling. Virtual patching applies signatures that block exploitation of known vulnerabilities in your environment even before patches are applied to the underlying system. Protocol decoders break apart application-layer traffic (HTTP, SMB, RDP, SIP, and others) and inspect the content for malicious sequences that plain firewall rules miss.

Why IPS Matters on a PoE Firewall

The FortiGate 60E-POE is deployed at locations where a single device handles both physical infrastructure (powering IP phones and APs through PoE) and network security. In that role, it is the only inline security appliance inspecting traffic at the site. IPS ensures that the device is not just routing traffic but actively blocking exploits targeting the workstations, servers, and IoT devices behind it. It is also a baseline requirement for many compliance frameworks, including PCI-DSS 6.4, that mandate intrusion detection at every network perimeter.

IPS Alone vs. a Security Bundle

If your FortiGate 60E-POE is hardware-only or carries only a subset of FortiGuard services, the table below shows how IPS fits into each protection tier and what else each bundle adds.
