Fortinet FortiGate 81E-POE SOCaaS Subscription, 1-Year (FC-10-0081E-464-02-12)

SOCaaS from Fortinet gives IT teams continuous 24/7 cloud-based threat monitoring without the cost of staffing an in-house security operations centre. The FC-10-0081E-464-02-12 activates a 1-Year SOCaaS subscription on your FortiGate 81E-POE, routing log data to Fortinet’s cloud platform where analysts triage alerts and escalate confirmed incidents.

What SOCaaS Covers

The service handles three core functions: real-time log monitoring across all FortiGate 81E-POE traffic, incident triage that separates noise from genuine threats, and SOC escalation with guided response steps when a confirmed incident is detected. Your firewall keeps doing its job; the SOCaaS layer adds human-assisted oversight on top.

For smaller organizations that lack a dedicated security team, this service fills the monitoring gap at a predictable annual cost. For larger shops, it acts as a force multiplier for internal staff who can’t watch dashboards around the clock.

Who Uses This

SOCaaS suits organizations that want enterprise-grade monitoring accountability without building a SOC in-house. Regulated industries (finance, healthcare, professional services) use it to satisfy continuous monitoring requirements. It also works well for distributed offices where managing security across sites is difficult with internal headcount alone.

Activation and Delivery

This is a cloud-delivered subscription. Once the license key is registered in FortiCare against your FortiGate 81E-POE’s serial number, the SOCaaS service activates on the associated FortiCloud account. There is no hardware to ship. DataCenter360.ca delivers the license key electronically within 0-1 business days of your order.

Single Service vs. a Bundle

SOCaaS is an add-on that sits alongside your existing security subscriptions. If you want to consolidate threat prevention, detection, and response under a single subscription, consider the UTP or Enterprise bundles for the FortiGate 81E-POE, which combine SOCaaS with FortiGuard IPS, AV, DNS filtering, and other services at a lower combined price than purchasing each separately.
