Fortinet FortiGate 901G FortiGuard IPS Service, 1-Year (FC-10-FG9H1-108-02-12)

Intrusion prevention is the workhorse layer on a data-center FortiGate, and the 1-Year FortiGuard IPS Service (FC-10-FG9H1-108-02-12) is what keeps that engine current on a FortiGate 901G for one year. It is a subscription license only, no hardware, delivered electronically worldwide.

What this service covers

FortiOS IPS uses signature-based detection and protocol analysis to identify and block malicious traffic, with AI and machine learning applied for real-time detection and virtual patching. The subscription keeps the IPS signature database on the FortiGate 901G updated by FortiGuard, along with the malicious and botnet URL feeds that help block command-and-control and drive-by threats.

Who needs it

Any FortiGate 901G doing inline inspection should carry active IPS. This standalone service suits teams that manage their FortiGuard services individually rather than as a bundle, or that need to renew IPS on its own term while other services are already covered.

Where it sits in the FortiGuard bundles

IPS is included in every FortiGuard security bundle: ATP, UTP, and Enterprise. Buying it on its own, as here, makes sense when you only need this layer. The table compares the single service with what the bundles add:

FortiGuard service	ATP	UTP	Enterprise
Intrusion Prevention (IPS)	✓	✓	✓
Advanced Malware Protection & Antivirus	✓	✓	✓
Application Control	✓	✓	✓
URL, DNS & Video Filtering	—	✓	✓
Anti-Spam	—	✓	✓
Attack Surface Security & DLP	—	—	✓
OT Security	—	—	✓

Activation and delivery

The entitlement arrives by email after checkout. Register it to your FortiGate 901G serial in the Fortinet support portal and IPS signature updates activate. Nothing ships physically.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner, so this is a real Fortinet entitlement matched to your device. If you are inspecting traffic at scale on a 901G, we can walk through whether the ATP bundle, which pairs IPS with antivirus and sandboxing for a modest step up, fits your risk profile better than IPS alone.
