Fortinet FortiGate 50G-SFP FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention, 1-Year (FC-10-F50GS-589-02-12)

Data leaving the network without authorization is one of the harder threats to catch with a standard firewall policy. The FortiGate 50G-SFP 1-Year FortiGuard Data Loss Prevention Service (FC-10-F50GS-589-02-12) extends the FortiGate 50G-SFP beyond network-threat detection into active data classification and exfiltration prevention for twelve months. Subscription license only, no hardware, delivered electronically to any country worldwide.

What this service covers

FortiGuard DLP operates at the FortiGate 50G-SFP’s gateway, inspecting outbound traffic streams for sensitive data patterns. Key capabilities activated by this license:

• Data classification: the service applies real-time pattern matching against network traffic, detecting structured data like credit card numbers, social insurance numbers, and custom-defined patterns based on regular expressions or file type/content fingerprints.
• Network DLP enforcement: matched traffic can be blocked, logged, or redirected based on DLP policy. Coverage spans common protocols traversing the gateway including HTTP, HTTPS (with SSL inspection), FTP, SMTP, and IMAP.
• Compliance support: the automated enforcement and detailed logging DLP generates helps organizations demonstrate control over how sensitive data moves across the network boundary, supporting requirements under PCI-DSS, PIPEDA, and similar frameworks.
• Regulatory reporting: DLP policy match events are logged centrally, providing an audit trail of attempted or blocked data transfers for review.

Full DLP features on the FortiGate 50G-SFP require FortiOS 7.4.1 or later.

Who needs this service

DLP standalone is a good fit for FortiGate 50G-SFP deployments where a specific compliance or data-protection requirement needs to be met without a full subscription bundle upgrade. Financial services branches, healthcare offices, and organizations handling customer personal data under privacy legislation are typical buyers. It also fits environments where the gateway already has IPS and AMP coverage in place through other subscriptions, and DLP is the remaining gap.

Activation and delivery

The license is issued electronically after purchase and registered to the FortiGate 50G-SFP serial number via the Fortinet support portal. FortiGuard DLP signature and pattern updates push to the appliance automatically for the full 12-month coverage period. Nothing ships. The subscription term begins from the registration date, so register the license promptly. A valid, registered FortiGate 50G-SFP on a supported FortiOS version is required before activation.

Standalone DLP vs. the subscription bundles

FortiGuard DLP is included in both the UTP and Enterprise subscription bundles for the FortiGate 50G-SFP. Buying this standalone license activates only the DLP layer. The table below shows what each bundle tier offers in the context of where DLP sits:

If the 50G-SFP needs IPS, AMP, URL filtering, and DLP together, the UTP subscription (FC-10-F50GS-950-02-12) covers all of those as a single purchase and is typically more cost-efficient than adding services individually. The Enterprise subscription (FC-10-F50GS-809-02-12) adds OT security on top.
