Fortinet FortiGate 70F IPS Service, 1-Year (FC-10-0070F-108-02-12)

Intrusion prevention depends on signatures that stay current as new exploits emerge. The FortiGate 70F IPS Service, 1-Year (FC-10-0070F-108-02-12) keeps FortiGuard IPS active on the FortiGate 70F with continuous signature updates from FortiGuard Labs for twelve months. License only, delivered electronically worldwide.

What the IPS service covers

FortiGuard IPS on the FortiGate operates across multiple detection dimensions:

• Signature-based detection: FortiGuard Labs releases updated IPS signatures as vulnerabilities are disclosed and exploited. Signatures push to the appliance continuously, keeping the rule set aligned with active threat activity.
• Protocol anomaly detection: inspects traffic against expected protocol behavior, flagging deviations used in evasion techniques, malformed packets, and unusual session patterns that may not yet carry a published signature.
• Application-layer inspection: IPS operates at layers 4 through 7, correlating session state with content to detect exploits embedded in HTTP, SMB, DNS, and other application protocols the firewall processes.

Signature updates push multiple times daily throughout the 12-month subscription term.

Who needs the standalone IPS license

This service suits FortiGate 70F deployments where antivirus, web filtering, or a FortiCare contract is already active and IPS is the layer being renewed or added independently. It also applies when a FortiGate 70F was purchased hardware-only and security coverage is being built up incrementally. If the FortiGate 70F has no active subscriptions yet, a bundle that includes IPS alongside other FortiGuard services is typically more cost-effective than adding services one at a time.

Standalone IPS vs. subscription bundles

FortiGuard IPS is included in the ATP, UTP, and Enterprise subscription bundles for the FortiGate 70F. This standalone license delivers the IPS layer only. The table below shows what each bundle tier adds beyond what this license covers:

For complete FortiGuard coverage, the UTP (FC-10-0070F-950-02-12) or Enterprise (FC-10-0070F-809-02-12) bundle is a more direct path, each including IPS as part of a broader multi-service subscription.

Activation and delivery

The license delivers electronically worldwide. No hardware is included and nothing ships physically. After purchase, the key registers to the FortiGate 70F serial number via the FortiCare portal and FortiGuard IPS signature updates begin pushing to the device immediately for the full 12-month term. A valid FortiGate 70F is required before activation.
