Fortinet FortiWiFi 61F Data Loss Prevention Service, 1-Year (FC-10-W061F-589-02-12)

Compliance with data handling regulations is increasingly a firewall-level problem. The FortiWiFi 61F processes traffic from all devices on the network, which makes it the natural enforcement point for preventing sensitive data from leaving through channels that standard firewall policies would permit. FC-10-W061F-589-02-12 adds FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention to the 61F, providing pattern-based and fingerprint-based content inspection without requiring a separate DLP appliance.

What DLP Covers on the FortiWiFi 61F

This subscription activates network-level DLP inspection with four core mechanisms:

• Pattern Matching: pre-built sensors for credit card numbers, Social Insurance Numbers (SIN), health ID formats, and other regulated data types, plus support for custom regular expressions.
• Data Fingerprinting: hash reference documents or datasets on the FortiWiFi 61F, then detect transmissions containing content that matches those fingerprints crossing any inspected interface.
• Protocol Coverage: inspects HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, SMTPS, FTP, and IM sessions. HTTPS requires SSL deep inspection to be enabled in the security policy.
• Actions: block, quarantine-file, or log-and-notify, with optional content archiving per sensor.

Who Needs This

DLP is primarily relevant to organizations handling regulated data under PCI DSS (payment card data), PIPEDA (Canadian privacy legislation), or HIPAA-equivalent requirements. It is also useful for any small office where the risk is employees uploading sensitive files to personal cloud storage, emailing confidential documents to outside accounts, or transferring data through protocols that a basic firewall policy does not inspect for content.

Activation and Delivery

Contract key delivered electronically within 0-1 business days. After registering on the Fortinet Support portal and activating against the FortiWiFi 61F serial number, DLP profile configuration is available under Security Profiles in FortiOS. No additional hardware is required; all DLP processing runs on the 61F itself.

One Service vs. the Bundle

FortiGuard DLP is available in the Enterprise bundle (FC-10-W061F-809-02-12), and not in UTP or ATP. Buying this standalone service is the practical choice when DLP is the specific requirement and the full Enterprise bundle is not needed. If the deployment also needs IPS, URL filtering, and FortiCare Premium, comparing the combined cost of individual services against the Enterprise bundle is worthwhile.
