Product description

Signature-based patching has a lag problem: CVEs get weaponized days before a vendor patch ships, and weeks before it gets deployed across a fleet. The FortiGate 80F-BYPASS 1-Year FortiGuard IPS Service (FC-10-F80FC-108-02-12) closes that window at the network layer, inspecting traffic in real time for exploit patterns and blocking them before they reach an endpoint.

What the IPS Service Does

Enabled on the FortiGate 80F-BYPASS, the Intrusion Prevention Service runs deep packet inspection against FortiGuard’s IPS signature library, which covers thousands of CVEs and protocol anomalies. It handles:

  • Known exploit signatures for vulnerabilities in Windows, Linux, web applications, and network infrastructure
  • Protocol anomaly detection for traffic that breaks RFC specs (common in evasion attempts)
  • Botnet traffic patterns on inbound and outbound flows
  • Application-level attack patterns including SQL injection, buffer overflows, and shellcode

Who Runs This Service

Any organization that can’t guarantee every internal host is patched to the current level. That’s most of them. The 80F-BYPASS form factor is designed for environments that need bypass failover capability, making it common in branch offices where uptime is non-negotiable. Running IPS on this platform means unpatched machines are still protected as long as they sit behind the firewall.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-F80FC-108-02-12 is a 1-year software subscription, delivered electronically by DataCenter360.ca within 0-1 business days of order. Apply it through the FortiGate GUI under System > FortiGuard. Once active, IPS becomes available as a security profile in your firewall policies. The subscription keeps the signature database current through the full 12-month term.

Standalone IPS vs. a Bundle

The IPS service makes sense as a standalone purchase when you need to close a specific coverage gap on an existing contract, or add IPS to a device running another service subscription. If the 80F-BYPASS has no FortiGuard services active, the UTP or Enterprise bundle includes IPS plus URL/DNS filtering, AMP, anti-spam, and more, typically at a lower blended cost.

FortiGuard Service ATP Bundle UTP Bundle Enterprise Bundle
Advanced Malware Protection (AV / AMP)
Intrusion Prevention (IPS)
URL, DNS & Video Filtering
Anti-Spam
Application Control
Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

Upgrading to a UTP or Enterprise bundle means a single subscription renewal covers all the services above instead of managing them separately.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca carries all FortiGate licensing for the 80F-BYPASS platform, including every bundle tier and individual service. As a Fortinet Select Partner and authorized reseller, we can supply licenses for Canadian buyers and international customers alike. Keys are emailed same-day or next business day; no hardware ships.

Does IPS slow down firewall throughput on the 80F-BYPASS?

All IPS-enabled throughput figures are published in the FortiGate 80F-BYPASS datasheet (threat protection throughput, not full inspection). The 80F-BYPASS uses NP7 and CP9 ASICs to offload inspection, so the throughput hit is lower than a software-only firewall. Check the datasheet for the exact rated figure under threat protection with IPS enabled.

How often does FortiGuard update IPS signatures?

Fortinet publishes IPS signature updates multiple times per week, and critical vulnerability signatures can appear within hours of a CVE disclosure. The FortiGate pulls updates on a configurable schedule (default: check every hour). An active IPS subscription is required to receive these updates.

Can I use IPS in detection-only mode before blocking?

Yes. FortiOS supports an IPS sensor in monitor mode, which logs events without blocking. This is useful for an initial deployment to identify false positives before switching to block mode. You configure the action per signature or per sensor in the IPS profile settings.

Is the IPS service delivered physically or electronically?

Electronically. No hardware ships. You receive a license key by email (0-1 business days), apply it to the FortiGate 80F-BYPASS, and the IPS service becomes active. The subscription term starts on activation date.

Does this license cover failover units or HA pairs?

Each FortiGate unit in an HA cluster requires its own service subscription tied to that unit’s serial number. If you run two 80F-BYPASS units in active-passive HA, you need two FC-10-F80FC-108-02-12 licenses — one per unit. Contact DataCenter360.ca for multi-unit pricing.
