Fortinet FortiGate 81F-POE FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention, 1-Year (FC-10-F81FP-589-02-12)

Data exfiltration is one of the harder threats to catch on a perimeter firewall, because the traffic looks legitimate until you inspect the content. The FC-10-F81FP-589-02-12 activates FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention on the FortiGate 81F-POE for one year — visibility into what leaves the network, including credit card numbers, health identifiers, or any custom data pattern the organization defines. License is electronic; delivery is worldwide.

What DLP Does on the FortiGate 81F-POE

With FC-10-F81FP-589-02-12 active, the 81F-POE can inspect and control sensitive data in transit:

• Identify and block transfers of sensitive data patterns (PCI, PHI, PII) crossing the firewall in HTTP, FTP, SMTP, and HTTPS traffic.
• Generate alerts and audit logs for compliance reporting without blocking, when monitoring mode is preferred.
• Apply granular policies by user, group, traffic direction, and data type — stopping accidental and intentional exfiltration alike.
• Leverage Fortinet’s regularly updated predefined dictionaries for common sensitive data types, reducing the setup burden of building custom patterns from scratch.

Who Uses This Service

DLP is a common addition for FortiGate 81F-POE deployments in regulated industries — healthcare, finance, legal, and any organization subject to PIPEDA, HIPAA, or PCI-DSS compliance requirements. The 81F-POE’s PoE capability makes it a frequent choice for branch offices with IP cameras and APs; those same branches often handle sensitive data that needs DLP coverage at the network edge. IT teams managing distributed offices where the risk of an employee accidentally emailing sensitive files outward is real and ongoing also rely on this service.

This Service vs. the FortiGuard Bundles

FortiGuard DLP is included in the UTP and Enterprise bundles for the 81F-POE. If your organization needs DLP alongside IPS, URL filtering, and Anti-Spam, compare the combined cost of individual licenses against FC-10-F81FP-950-02-12 (UTP subscription), which covers all of those plus FortiCare Premium support. The table below shows the full picture:

If DLP is the only FortiGuard service you need on the 81F-POE right now, FC-10-F81FP-589-02-12 is the right standalone purchase. Add IPS (FC-10-F81FP-108-02-12) or URL/DNS filtering (FC-10-F81FP-112-02-12) as needed, then reassess against the UTP bundle at renewal time.
