Fortinet FortiGate 80F-POE IPS Service, 1-Year (FC-10-F80FP-108-02-12)

Keeping unpatched vulnerabilities from becoming attack entry points is one of the most practical reasons to run an IPS on your perimeter firewall. The FortiGate 80F-POE 1-Year FortiGuard IPS Service (FC-10-F80FP-108-02-12) gives your 80F-POE continuously updated intrusion signatures and virtual patching, so exploitation attempts targeting known CVEs are stopped in transit, even if the affected server or endpoint has not yet received its patch.

What the IPS Service Does

• Signature-based detection: Fortinet’s threat research team publishes IPS signatures within hours of new vulnerability disclosures. Your FortiGate 80F-POE pulls updates automatically, keeping detection current without manual intervention.
• Anomaly detection: Traffic patterns that deviate from baseline norms, such as port scans, protocol abuse, or unusual session counts, trigger alerts or blocks depending on your configured policy.
• Virtual patching: When a critical CVE is published but patches are still being tested internally, an IPS rule can block exploit traffic targeting that vulnerability on the network layer, buying time for orderly patch deployment.
• SD-WAN IPS: IPS also applies to SD-WAN traffic, protecting inter-site and cloud-bound flows that pass through the FortiGate 80F-POE.

Who This Licence Is For

Organizations running internet-facing servers, remote desktop services, or OWA/VPN gateways through their FortiGate 80F-POE benefit most from this service. It is also a strong first step for SMBs that have not yet deployed a full FortiGuard bundle and want targeted network-layer threat prevention before expanding to more services.

Activation and Delivery

The licence key is delivered electronically, usually within one business day. Register it on the Fortinet support portal and apply it to your FortiGate from System > FortiGuard. IPS signature updates begin downloading immediately after activation.

Single Service vs. the Bundle

This subscription is a single-service licence. The same IPS is included in all three FortiGuard bundles for the FortiGate 80F-POE. If you are running more than one FortiGuard service, a bundle is typically more cost-effective than buying each service individually.
