Fortinet FortiGate 91G IPS Service, 1-Year (FC-10-0091G-108-02-12)

Attackers targeting SMB networks rely on a consistent set of known exploits — unpatched services, weak protocols, and CVEs that haven’t been mitigated at the device level. On the FortiGate 91G, FortiGuard IPS inspects traffic against a database of thousands of signatures and blocks matching traffic before it reaches internal systems, without requiring changes to the endpoints being protected.

What This Subscription Covers

• Detection and prevention of network-level exploits using FortiGuard’s continuously updated IPS signature database
• Anomaly detection for protocol deviations and flood-based attacks
• Application-level inspection for common attack vectors including SQL injection, buffer overflow, and command injection attempts
• Automatic signature updates via the FortiGuard Distribution Network
• Custom IPS signatures for organization-specific threat coverage

Who Typically Deploys IPS on the FortiGate 91G

Any network where unpatched internal systems, legacy software, or exposed services are a concern. IPS is a standard layer in defence-in-depth architectures — it addresses the gap between a patching cycle and active exploitation in the wild. Common on small office and branch FortiGate deployments where patching cadence is irregular.

Activation and Delivery

Electronic delivery worldwide. Activate through the FortiCare portal against the FG-91G serial number. IPS profiles are available in the FortiGate security policy configuration immediately after the license is registered.

Standalone IPS vs. the Full Bundle

IPS is included in the UTP and Enterprise bundles. If URL/DNS filtering and AMP are also on the roadmap for this 91G, a UTP or Enterprise bundle will cover all three services for less than the combined individual SKU cost. The table below shows what each bundle adds beyond IPS alone.

FortiGuard Bundle Coverage

IPS is part of every FortiGuard bundle tier from UTP upward. The table below shows how this service fits in the broader bundle stack.
