Fortinet FortiGate 900D FortiGuard IPS Service, 1-Year (FC-10-00900-108-02-12)

Many attacks travel inside traffic that a firewall would otherwise wave through. Catching them takes signature-level inspection, not just port and address rules. The FortiGate 900D 1-Year FortiGuard IPS Service (FC-10-00900-108-02-12) switches on FortiGuard intrusion prevention across a FortiGate 900D for twelve months, screening sessions against a database of known exploits and vulnerability patterns that FortiGuard Labs refreshes as new threats appear. Subscription only, no hardware, delivered electronically worldwide.

What this service covers

The IPS subscription keeps the deep-inspection engine on the FortiGate 900D current for the full term:

• Exploit and vulnerability signatures: thousands of rules covering CVEs, server and client-side exploits, and known attack tooling, updated continuously by FortiGuard Labs.
• Protocol decoders and anomaly detection: inspection of application traffic to flag malformed or evasive sessions that try to slip past signature matching.
• Virtual patching: shields unpatched systems behind the firewall by blocking exploit attempts at the network layer, buying time until vendor fixes are applied.
• Botnet and command-and-control blocking: stops outbound connections to known malicious infrastructure.

Who needs the standalone service

This license fits a FortiGate 900D that already carries other coverage, such as an existing malware or web-filtering subscription, and needs intrusion prevention added or renewed on its own. If the 900D has no active FortiGuard services yet, a bundle brings IPS plus the rest of the stack at a better combined price.

Standalone IPS vs. the subscription bundles

IPS is a component of every FortiGuard bundle for the FortiGate 900D, from ATP up to Enterprise. Buying this line adds the intrusion prevention layer only. The table shows what each bundle tier layers on top:

To move the 900D onto broader protection, the UTP subscription (FC-10-00900-950-02-12) or Enterprise subscription (FC-10-00900-809-02-12) folds IPS into a wider package that adds web, application, and content controls.

Activation and delivery

The license is issued electronically and registered to one FortiGate 900D by serial number. Once applied, IPS signature updates push to the appliance for the full 12-month term. Nothing ships, and a valid FortiGate 900D must be in place before activation.
