Fortinet FortiGate 60F FortiGuard IPS Service, 1-Year (FC-10-0060F-108-02-12)

Network threats do not announce themselves. The FortiGate 60F 1-Year FortiGuard IPS Service (FC-10-0060F-108-02-12) keeps the FortiGate 60F actively analyzing traffic for exploit patterns, protocol anomalies, and known attack signatures. FortiGuard Labs pushes continuous IPS signature updates so the appliance stays current as threat actors shift techniques. Twelve-month term, license only, no hardware included.

What FortiGuard IPS covers on the FortiGate 60F

The IPS engine on the FortiGate 60F operates in-line, inspecting traffic in both directions across your network segments. With this subscription active:

• Signature-based detection: FortiGuard Labs maintains tens of thousands of IPS signatures covering CVEs, exploit kits, and known attack infrastructure. The FortiGate 60F checks traffic against this database with signature updates pushed continuously.
• Protocol analysis: the engine decodes and validates protocol behavior across HTTP, SMB, DNS, and other common protocols, catching malformed packets and evasion attempts that signature matching alone might miss.
• AI/ML-assisted detection: machine learning models identify anomalous traffic patterns associated with command-and-control communication, lateral movement, and zero-day exploit attempts.
• Malicious/Botnet URL detection: a local URL database flags drive-by exploit pages and botnet C2 domains at the IPS layer, supplementing DNS and URL filtering with network-layer enforcement.
• Virtual patching: FortiGuard IPS signatures can shield unpatched systems by blocking exploit traffic targeting known vulnerabilities before a firmware or software patch can be applied.

Who needs this standalone IPS subscription

This license is the right fit for a FortiGate 60F deployment where IPS is the specific layer being activated or renewed, and other subscriptions are already in place on a different schedule. It also applies where the security policy requires network intrusion prevention as a distinct, auditable control. If the FortiGate 60F is starting from no subscriptions, a bundle gives broader coverage and is typically more cost-effective as a starting point.

Standalone IPS vs. the subscription bundles

FortiGuard IPS is included in the ATP, UTP, and Enterprise subscription bundles. This license delivers the IPS layer only. The table shows what each bundle tier includes on top:

The ATP bundle (FC-10-0060F-928-02-12) adds AMP, Cloud Sandbox, and FortiCare Premium on top of IPS coverage. The UTP and Enterprise bundles extend further into web filtering, application control, and beyond.

Activation and delivery

The license is applied to a specific FortiGate 60F by serial number via FortiCare. IPS signature updates and engine updates push automatically to the device for the duration of the twelve-month term. Nothing ships physically. A registered FortiGate 60F with an active FortiCare contract is required.
