Fortinet FortiGate 81F FortiSASE Subscription, 1-Year (FC-10-0081F-595-02-12)

Organizations extending network security to remote workers and branch connections increasingly reach for SASE architectures that unify network and security functions in a cloud-delivered model. The FortiSASE subscription for the FortiGate 81F (FC-10-0081F-595-02-12) integrates the on-premises 81F with Fortinet’s cloud-managed SASE platform, giving remote users a consistent security experience whether they’re on-site or connecting from home or a hotel.

What FortiSASE covers

FortiSASE is Fortinet’s cloud-delivered security service edge that combines secure web gateway, cloud access security broker (CASB), zero trust network access (ZTNA), and firewall-as-a-service capabilities. The 595 subscription for the FortiGate 81F includes cloud management for SASE policy plus a bandwidth license that allocates throughput capacity for remote users. Security policies are authored in FortiCloud and enforced consistently across both the local 81F and remote sessions.

Who it serves

The FortiSASE subscription fits IT teams that have deployed the FortiGate 81F as the on-premises anchor point and want to extend the same security controls to remote users without operating a separate VPN concentrator or cloud proxy. It suits hybrid work environments, distributed teams, and branch deployments where remote access volumes are moderate and consistent with the 81F’s bandwidth tier.

Activation and delivery

The license key is emailed within 0–1 business days of purchase and activates through the FortiCare portal. Once active, the FortiGate 81F registers with the FortiSASE cloud management plane and the administrator configures SASE policies through the cloud console. FortiSASE requires a compatible FortiOS version; verify the minimum supported firmware before activating.

FortiSASE vs. a standard security bundle

The FortiGate 81F UTP (FC-10-0081F-950-02-12) and Enterprise (FC-10-0081F-809-02-12) bundles provide on-premises FortiGuard threat protection for traffic flowing through the 81F. FortiSASE (595) adds the cloud management layer and remote-user coverage that bundles don’t include. For maximum coverage, some teams run a security bundle alongside FortiSASE, using the bundle for on-premises security and FortiSASE for the remote workforce.
