Fortinet FortiWiFi 40F IPS Service, 1-Year (FC-10-W040F-108-02-12)

Network-level intrusion prevention catches what perimeter rules miss. FC-10-W040F-108-02-12 activates the FortiGuard IPS Service on the FortiWiFi 40F, enabling deep packet inspection against a continuously updated signature database that covers exploits, protocol anomalies, and vulnerability probes across both perimeter and lateral traffic paths.

What the IPS Service Does

FortiGuard IPS on the FortiWiFi 40F provides:

• Signature-based detection and blocking of known exploits targeting applications, OS services, and network protocols
• Protocol anomaly detection that catches malformed packets and out-of-spec traffic indicative of attack tools
• Regular signature updates from FortiGuard Labs, covering new CVEs as they’re disclosed
• Per-policy tuning — you can exempt internal traffic or adjust sensitivity per VLAN or interface

The IPS engine runs inline on the FortiWiFi 40F, inspecting traffic without requiring a separate security appliance or inline tap.

Who Needs This

IPS is typically a required control for PCI DSS, NIST CSF, and SOC 2 compliance. It’s also valuable for any branch site running exposed services — VPN portals, web apps, or SMB file shares — where a known CVE in the software could be exploited by an automated scanner within hours of disclosure. The FortiWiFi 40F with IPS gives branch offices a level of threat protection usually reserved for datacenter-class gear.

IPS Service vs. a Bundle

This standalone SKU covers IPS for one year on the FortiWiFi 40F. The table below shows how IPS fits within the FortiGuard bundle tiers, which stack additional services under a single fee.

If IPS is the only gap in your current coverage, this SKU fills it cleanly. If you need IPS alongside AV and URL filtering, the ATP Bundle is typically more economical than three standalone services.
