Fortinet FortiGate 80F-BYPASS SOCaaS, 1-Year (FC-10-F80FC-464-02-12)

Running a firewall is one thing — having someone watch it around the clock is another. The FortiGate 80F-BYPASS SOCaaS subscription (FC-10-F80FC-464-02-12) adds a 24×7 cloud-based managed monitoring layer: Fortinet’s SOC team continuously ingests logs from the device, triages alerts, and escalates confirmed incidents to your team. It is a practical option for organizations that want enterprise-grade threat monitoring without building an in-house SOC.

What SOCaaS Covers

The service handles three things that are easy to under-resource internally: log collection and normalization, around-the-clock alert triage, and escalation workflows when confirmed threats are identified. Fortinet’s cloud analysts do the first-pass review so your IT team is not wading through raw firewall events. You receive escalations when action is needed, with the context already assembled.

Who Uses This Service

SOCaaS is well-suited to lean IT teams — a five-person department that cannot justify a dedicated security analyst, or a managed service provider looking to add a monitoring tier for clients running FortiGate 80F-BYPASS appliances. It is also a natural fit for organizations with compliance requirements that include continuous log monitoring but lack the budget for a full SIEM deployment.

Activation and Delivery

This is a software subscription — no hardware ships. DataCenter360.ca delivers the license key electronically after payment. Activation happens in the FortiCare portal; once applied, the FortiGate begins forwarding logs to Fortinet’s managed SOC infrastructure automatically. Onboarding typically completes within one business day.

SOCaaS vs. the Full FortiGuard Stack

SOCaaS is an à-la-carte service that complements, rather than replaces, a FortiGuard threat-prevention bundle. If the FortiGate 80F-BYPASS is running an ATP or UTP subscription for active threat blocking, adding SOCaaS provides the monitoring and escalation layer on top. For teams weighing a full managed approach, the Managed FortiGate NOC service (service 660) handles device configuration and policy management rather than threat monitoring — a different scope.
