Some operational technology deployments run long cycles between upgrades. For a FortiGate 60F guarding an OT network over the next five years, the 5-Year OT Security Service (FC-10-0060F-159-02-60) covers the full sixty-month window in a single order — activating OT device detection, vulnerability correlation, virtual patching, and industrial application and IPS signatures from day one.
What OT Security activates on the FortiGate 60F
This subscription turns on four OT-specific protection layers:
- OT device detection: FortiGuard pushes up-to-date OT device signatures so the FortiGate 60F identifies and inventories PLCs, HMIs, RTUs, IP cameras, and other industrial devices passing traffic through the firewall.
- OT vulnerability correlation and virtual patching: when a vulnerability is identified for a detected OT device, the FortiGate applies an IPS virtual patch to block known exploitation vectors, providing mitigation without requiring firmware updates on the OT device itself.
- Industrial application control signatures: protocol-specific signatures for Modbus, DNP3, IEC 104, and other industrial protocols allow the FortiGate 60F to enforce application-layer policies on OT traffic.
- OT IPS rules: intrusion prevention signatures targeting exploits and vulnerabilities specific to industrial control systems and field devices, separate from the standard IT IPS signature set.
Who runs a 5-year term
Five-year subscriptions fit environments where IT/OT security procurement follows long planning cycles: utilities, manufacturing facilities, and critical infrastructure operators that align subscription terms to capital expenditure cycles. A single five-year license eliminates the annual renewal process and simplifies licensing management for teams running lean IT operations alongside OT systems. It is also cost-effective when the FortiGate 60F is expected to remain in production throughout the term.
Activation and delivery
OT Security is a license delivered electronically and registered to the FortiGate 60F by serial number through FortiCare. Once registered, FortiGuard OT signature updates push to the device continuously. No hardware ships. Active FortiCare Premium support is required before OT Security activation; if support is lapsed, renew it before activating. The license is available to customers worldwide.

FortiGate 60F OT Security Service 5-Year – Frequently Asked Questions
Is OT Security included in the UTP or Enterprise bundles for the FortiGate 60F?
No. OT Security is available only as a standalone subscription. It is not included in the ATP, UTP, or Enterprise bundles. If your FortiGate 60F already has a bundle active, you can add OT Security separately on top of it.
What is the difference between OT Security and standard IPS on the FortiGate 60F?
Standard IPS covers general network traffic with broad intrusion signatures. OT Security adds industrial-protocol awareness: OT-specific device detection, vulnerability correlation for ICS/SCADA equipment, and IPS signatures targeting industrial exploits. Both services can run together when you need IT and OT coverage on the same device.
Does this license cover the entire five-year term, or does it need annual renewal?
This is a single five-year term license. It activates for sixty consecutive months from the registration date and does not require annual renewal. You receive one license key that covers the full period.
Can this subscription be purchased from outside Canada?
Yes. Fortinet subscription licenses are delivered electronically and are available to customers worldwide through DataCenter360.ca. No physical shipment is involved and there are no geographic restrictions on the license itself.
What happens to OT protection if the subscription expires?
When the subscription expires, the FortiGate 60F stops receiving FortiGuard OT signature updates and virtual patching stops refreshing. The device retains the last downloaded signatures but cannot detect newly discovered OT devices or newly published vulnerabilities. Renewing before expiry avoids any coverage gap.
