Fortinet FortiGate 81F Managed FortiGate Service (NOC), 1-Year (FC-10-0081F-660-02-12)

Running a firewall means ongoing policy maintenance, firmware tracking, network change requests, and incident response — work that competes with every other IT priority. The 1-year Managed FortiGate service (FC-10-0081F-660-02-12) transfers day-to-day device operations on the FortiGate 81F to Fortinet’s NOC team, giving your staff time back without losing control of network policy.

What the Managed FortiGate service covers

Service code 660 is Fortinet’s NOC-delivered managed service for FortiGate devices. With the 1-year subscription on the FortiGate 81F, a team of Fortinet-certified NOC engineers handles initial device setup and provisioning, ongoing security and network policy configuration, and network change management requests throughout the term. The service runs 24×7, so operational tasks don’t depend on in-house staff availability or on-call rotation.

Who it serves

The Managed FortiGate service fits organizations that want professional-grade firewall management without maintaining a dedicated network security engineer. This includes small and mid-size businesses with lean IT teams, distributed organizations managing the FortiGate 81F at branch locations, and companies that have standardized on Fortinet but lack the internal expertise to keep pace with FortiOS policy updates and change requests. MSPs can also use it as a sub-contracted NOC layer for clients.

Activation and delivery

The license activates electronically through the FortiCare portal and is delivered by email within 0–1 business days of purchase. Once active, Fortinet’s onboarding team contacts the registered admin to begin device setup and establish the change management workflow. No physical hardware is involved in the service delivery.

Managed service vs. a FortiCare bundle

If your team prefers to keep operational control of the FortiGate 81F and simply wants security intelligence coverage, a UTP (FC-10-0081F-950-02-12) or Enterprise (FC-10-0081F-809-02-12) subscription bundle is the right choice. The 660 NOC service is for teams who want Fortinet’s engineers to handle device operations directly.
