Fortinet FortiGate 50G IPS Service, 1-Year (FC-10-GT50G-108-02-12)

If you run a FortiGate 50G and need focused intrusion prevention without committing to a full bundle, the FC-10-GT50G-108-02-12 covers exactly that. This 1-year FortiGuard IPS Service subscription activates the IPS engine on your device, with AI/ML-powered signatures updated continuously by Fortinet’s FortiGuard Labs to catch known exploits, protocol anomalies, and zero-day attack patterns in real time.

What FortiGuard IPS Covers

FortiGuard IPS inspects traffic at wire speed and matches flows against a library of thousands of signatures covering network-layer attacks, application exploits, evasion techniques, and botnet command-and-control traffic. On the FortiGate 50G the IPS engine runs on the purpose-built FortiSP5 security processor, so signature scanning does not meaningfully degrade throughput. The subscription also enables virtual patching: applying IPS rules to shield devices from known vulnerabilities before an OS or firmware patch can be deployed, which matters most in branch offices and OT-adjacent environments where patching windows are hard to schedule.

How It Fits Into the Bundle Matrix

FortiGuard IPS is included in all three FortiGuard bundle tiers. Buying the individual service makes sense when you already hold other subscriptions separately and only need to renew or add IPS. If you are starting from scratch or want broader coverage, the UTP or Enterprise bundles add URL filtering, anti-spam, DLP, and more services at a better per-feature cost.

Who Buys This Service

This SKU is typically purchased by IT teams that have an existing security stack but want to add or renew IPS independently, smaller sites running a FortiGate 50G where the budget covers one service at a time, and branch offices that prioritize threat prevention at the network perimeter above other FortiGuard features. It also suits environments that have already licensed AMP and URL filtering separately and just need the IPS component to complete coverage.

Activation and Delivery

After purchase, DataCenter360.ca delivers the license key by email within 0 to 1 business days. You register the key in the FortiGate dashboard under System / FortiGuard, and the service activates immediately. No hardware is involved. The subscription runs for 12 months from the date of activation and can be renewed or upgraded to a bundle before expiry.

One Service vs. a Bundle

If your team is evaluating whether to stick with individual services or move to a bundle, the UTP subscription (FC-10-GT50G-950-02-12) bundles IPS plus AMP, URL filtering, anti-spam, anti-botnet, and FortiCare Premium at a lower cost per feature than purchasing each separately. The Enterprise bundle (FC-10-GT50G-809-02-12) adds DLP, IoT detection, inline malware prevention, and CASB. If you’re on a growth path, starting a conversation about bundling now is worth it before the next renewal cycle.
