Fortinet FortiGate 50G-5G IPS Service, 1-Year (FC-10-F50G5-108-02-12)

Intrusion prevention is one of the workhorses of network security — and on the FortiGate 50G-5G it runs on the FortiSP5 ASIC, meaning IPS inspection happens in hardware without trading throughput for protection. FC-10-F50G5-108-02-12 keeps the FortiGuard IPS subscription current for a full year, maintaining access to the signature database and virtual patch rules that FortiGuard Labs releases continuously.

What FortiGuard IPS Covers

The FortiGuard IPS subscription for the FortiGate 50G-5G enforces intrusion detection and prevention across network traffic in both directions:

• Signature-based detection — thousands of signatures covering known CVEs, exploit kits, application-layer attacks (SQL injection, buffer overflows, RCE), and network protocol exploits, updated daily by FortiGuard Labs
• Anomaly-based detection — identifies traffic patterns that deviate from protocol standards, catching attacks that don’t match known signatures
• Virtual patching — IPS rules that block exploit attempts targeting unpatched software, buying time between vendor patch releases and deployment cycles
• Protocol decoders — deep inspection of over 1,500 application protocols to catch attacks that tunnel through legitimate channels

IPS in the FortiGuard Bundle Context

IPS is included at every tier of the FortiGuard bundle for the FortiGate 50G-5G. If your site needs IPS plus web filtering, AntiSpam, and AV, the UTP bundle (FC-10-F50G5-950-02-12) covers all of those in a single subscription. FC-10-F50G5-108-02-12 makes sense when IPS is the only service needed — for example, a firewall deployed purely as a network segment boundary, or a device where other subscriptions are licensed separately and only the IPS renewal is due.

Who Uses a Standalone IPS License

Small branch offices on the 5G-connected FortiGate 50G-5G sometimes license services incrementally — starting with IPS for the core security layer and adding web filtering or AntiSpam in a later cycle. IT teams maintaining a mixed subscription stack also use standalone IPS renewals when the IPS term expires ahead of the others. Any FortiGate deployment that handles untrusted inbound traffic — internet-facing segments, data center edges, DMZs — should keep IPS current.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-F50G5-108-02-12 is delivered as a software license key by email, typically within 0 to 1 business days of order. Register it against the FortiGate 50G-5G serial number in the Fortinet Support Portal. The 1-year term begins on registration. No hardware ships.
