Fortinet FortiGate 81F FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention Service, 1-Year (FC-10-0081F-589-02-12)

Employees moving sensitive files to personal cloud storage, external USB drives, or unauthorized email accounts is a compliance and data security risk that perimeter firewalls don’t address by default. The FortiGate 81F 1-Year FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention Service (FC-10-0081F-589-02-12) turns your 81F into an active DLP enforcement point, inspecting outbound sessions for patterns matching regulated or sensitive data categories.

What the DLP Service Does

The FortiGuard DLP service activates content inspection on the FortiGate 81F, scanning traffic for defined data patterns. Key capabilities include:

• Pattern-based detection: Identifies content matching credit card numbers, Social Insurance Numbers (SINs), health record identifiers, and custom regex patterns defined by your policies.
• Protocol coverage: Inspects traffic across HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, SMTP, and other common protocols the firewall handles inline.
• Block or log action: DLP policies can be configured to block transfer attempts outright or log violations for audit purposes, depending on your compliance posture.

This is a license activation — the DLP engine is already present on the FortiOS firmware. The subscription unlocks and keeps current the FortiGuard data pattern database.

Who This Service Is For

Organizations handling regulated data under frameworks like PCI-DSS, PIPEDA, or provincial privacy legislation are the most direct audience. Healthcare networks, financial services firms, and legal offices handling client documents benefit most. That said, any business concerned about inadvertent or intentional data exfiltration from employees or compromised endpoints should consider it. It works alongside existing IPS and URL filtering to add a content-awareness layer that network-level traffic rules alone cannot provide.

Activation and Delivery

This is a software subscription for an existing FortiGate 81F. No hardware is involved. After purchase, the license key is delivered electronically by DataCenter360.ca — typically within the same business day. Register the key on Fortinet’s support portal against your 81F serial number, then configure DLP profiles and policies through FortiOS. Delivery can be made to any country worldwide.

One Service vs. a Broader Bundle

The FortiGuard DLP service (-589-) is a standalone add-on — it is not included in the standard UTP, ATP, or Enterprise subscription bundles. If you’re running a base firewall with no current subscriptions, pairing the DLP service with a UTP or Enterprise bundle gives you the broadest coverage: IPS, URL filtering, application control, and DLP together. DataCenter360.ca carries both the standalone license and the full bundle tiers for the FortiGate 81F.
