Fortinet FortiWiFi 60E-DSL IPS Service, 1-Year (FC-10-FW60F-108-02-12)

Firewalls enforce access policy. IPS enforces behavioral policy. The FortiWiFi 60E-DSL’s firewall rules define who can talk to whom, but the FC-10-FW60F-108-02-12 IPS Service handles what that traffic is actually doing once access is permitted. It inspects allowed sessions for exploit patterns, botnet callbacks, and vulnerability-triggered payloads, then blocks or alerts in real time without requiring a separate appliance. For branch offices that cannot dedicate hardware to deep inspection, this subscription turns existing FortiWiFi 60E-DSL resources into a full IPS sensor.

What the IPS Service Covers

• Signature-based detection matches traffic against a library of over 15,000 signatures covering CVEs, exploit kits, known attack tools, and protocol anomalies. Signatures update daily through the FortiGuard cloud feed.
• Botnet and C2 protection identifies outbound connections to command-and-control infrastructure associated with malware campaigns, cutting off lateral movement and data exfiltration channels.
• Protocol anomaly detection flags traffic that deviates from expected protocol behavior even when it does not match a specific signature, providing coverage for obfuscated and zero-day techniques.

This Service vs the FortiGuard Bundles

IPS is included in all three bundle tiers for the FortiWiFi 60E-DSL. The table below shows how the standalone IPS service compares to the ATP, UTP, and Enterprise bundle options.

Who Needs Standalone IPS

Organizations that have already purchased URL filtering or AV separately and need to add IPS on top of an existing subscription are the typical buyers. It also fits sites where IT policy mandates IPS coverage specifically, and a full bundle is not yet in the budget. For new deployments, the UTP bundle is generally better value when IPS, URL filtering, AV, and FortiCare support are all needed together.

Activation and Delivery

The license delivers electronically, worldwide, within 0-1 business days of order. Register in the Fortinet Support Portal and apply the IPS profile in the FortiGate security policy for the relevant interfaces. Signature updates arrive automatically through the FortiGuard cloud feed.
