Fortinet FortiWiFi 80F-2R IPS Service, 1-Year (FC-10-W080F-108-02-12)

Port-based firewall rules allow or deny connections, but they do not look inside the payload. An attacker targeting a web server or RDP endpoint on a network defended only by rules can slip exploit code through an allowed port without triggering a single firewall block. The FC-10-W080F-108-02-12 brings the FortiWiFi 80F-2R’s intrusion prevention engine up to date with current FortiGuard Labs signatures for a full year, so traffic that clears the firewall still gets inspected for exploit patterns before it reaches its destination.

What IPS Service Activates

• Signature-based detection and blocking of known CVE exploits, shellcode, and attack toolkits
• Behavioral analysis to identify anomalous traffic patterns and zero-day exploit attempts
• Virtual patching: IPS rules that block known exploits before a firmware patch is available
• Malicious and botnet URL reputation blocking (included in the IPS service feed)
• Automatic FortiGuard Labs signature updates as new attack methods are discovered and catalogued

Who Needs This

Any FortiWiFi 80F-2R facing internet-originated traffic benefits from a current IPS subscription. Without live updates, the IPS engine runs on a static signature set that grows less effective as new exploits emerge. This is especially relevant for organizations with web-accessible services, remote-access VPN, SIP endpoints, or SCADA systems accessible over IP. It is also a sensible first FortiGuard service for organizations adding threat prevention on top of basic packet filtering for the first time.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-W080F-108-02-12 is a software subscription delivered electronically by DataCenter360.ca within 0–1 business days of order confirmation. Enter the license key under System > FortiGuard on the FortiGate GUI or through FortiCloud; IPS signature updates begin streaming from FortiGuard Labs automatically. No physical hardware ships and no customs processing is required regardless of where the FortiWiFi 80F-2R is installed.

IPS Alone vs. the Bundles

IPS is included in all three FortiGuard bundle tiers (ATP, UTP, Enterprise). This individual subscription makes sense when the 80F-2R already has URL filtering or AMP covered under a separate contract and IPS is the remaining gap. If multiple services are needed at the same time, the UTP bundle (FC-10-W080F-950-02-12) delivers IPS, URL/DNS filtering, AMP, and anti-spam at a bundled price:
