Fortinet FortiWiFi 31G FortiAnalyzer Cloud Subscription, 1-Year (FC-10-WF31G-585-02-12)

A FortiWiFi 31G produces a steady stream of traffic and security logs, but the appliance itself holds very little of it. The FortiWiFi 31G 1-Year FortiAnalyzer Cloud Subscription (FC-10-WF31G-585-02-12) forwards those logs to Fortinet’s hosted FortiAnalyzer, giving you central logging, reporting, and analytics without standing up a FortiAnalyzer of your own. It is a cloud subscription with no hardware, delivered electronically worldwide.

What FortiAnalyzer Cloud gives you

The service turns the 31G’s raw logs into searchable history and ready-made reporting, hosted and maintained by Fortinet:

• Central logging: all FortiGate log types from the 31G are collected and retained in the cloud, off the appliance.
• Reporting and analytics: dashboards and scheduled reports turn events into something you can hand to an auditor or review at a glance.
• IOC service: the Indicators of Compromise feed flags hosts showing signs of compromise in your own log data.
• Security automation and Outbreak Detection: the Security Automation service and FortiGuard Outbreak Detection service add automated handling and early warning for emerging threats.

Who needs it

This subscription suits a 31G owner who needs log retention and reporting but does not want to run logging infrastructure: a small business with compliance or audit requirements, a branch that must keep history centrally, or an MSP-managed site where cloud reporting is simpler than shipping a FortiAnalyzer to every location. It is also the quickest way to gain searchable history when an incident review demands more than the appliance keeps locally.

Activation and delivery

The entitlement is issued electronically and tied to a specific FortiWiFi 31G by serial number. Once activated, the 31G is pointed at the cloud service and logs begin to accumulate, with the one-year window running from activation. Nothing ships, and the firewall needs internet access to reach the hosted FortiAnalyzer.

Logging, not the full security stack

FortiAnalyzer Cloud is about visibility after the fact, not inline enforcement. The protection that blocks attacks, IPS, antivirus, web filtering, lives in the UTP or Enterprise bundle, and most deployments run one of those alongside this subscription so the logs being analyzed come from a properly defended device.
