Fortinet FortiWiFi 70G-PoE IPS, 1-Year (FC-10-FW70P-108-02-12)

Intrusion Prevention at the wireless gateway catches network-layer exploits before they reach endpoints — malformed packets, vulnerability scans, and known attack sequences that bypass endpoint security. The FortiWiFi 70G-PoE IPS service (FC-10-FW70P-108-02-12) keeps FortiGuard’s IPS signature database current on the device, covering thousands of CVEs across common network protocols and applications. Updates are pushed automatically throughout the subscription year.

What the IPS Service Covers

FortiGuard Intrusion Prevention on the FortiWiFi 70G-PoE inspects all traffic passing through the firewall policy for known attack signatures, protocol anomalies, and behavioral indicators. Coverage includes:

• Thousands of CVE-mapped signatures covering Windows, Linux, macOS, and cross-platform vulnerabilities
• Protocol anomaly detection (malformed packets, out-of-spec traffic patterns) that can indicate novel attack attempts
• Application-layer exploit signatures for web servers, databases, file-sharing protocols, and remote access tools
• Automatic updates from FortiGuard — typically within hours of a new CVE being weaponized

Who Needs IPS on the FortiWiFi 70G-PoE

IPS is relevant for any network where unpatched or slow-to-patch devices are present — which describes most SMB environments. The FortiWiFi 70G-PoE sits between the internet and internal devices, making IPS at the gateway the first line of defense against network-layer exploit attempts. It’s also practical for environments that can’t deploy endpoint protection on every connected device (printers, IoT sensors, shared terminals).

Activation & Delivery

This is a software subscription — no hardware ships. After order confirmation, the license key arrives by email within 0–1 business days. Register it at support.fortinet.com or apply it directly in the FortiGate license menu under System > FortiGuard. The 1-Year term begins on the date of activation.

For renewals, the new subscription stacks onto the existing expiry date if applied before expiration. DataCenter360.ca can assist with renewal timing and multi-year quotes.

This Service vs. a Bundle

Intrusion Prevention is included in every FortiGuard bundle tier — ATP, UTP, and Enterprise. As a standalone service it makes sense when you only need IPS, but moving to UTP adds URL/DNS filtering and Application Control for a broader security baseline on the same device.

If you expect to add more protections later, the UTP and Enterprise subscriptions for the FortiWiFi 70G-PoE consolidate multiple services into one SKU at a lower per-service cost.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner. The FortiWiFi 70G-PoE IPS subscription is stocked and delivered electronically, typically the same business day. If you need IPS alongside web filtering or cloud sandbox, the UTP or Enterprise bundles consolidate those services — ask us for a comparison and we can show you the per-service cost difference.
