Three years of Enterprise Protection on the FortiGate 50G-SFP-PoE is a straightforward fit for branch sites that need every inspection layer — DLP, CASB, OT Security, AI malware prevention — but aren’t ready to commit to five years on the current hardware. The FC-10-F50GP-809-02-36 brings the full FortiGuard Enterprise stack online from registration through month thirty-six.
Services Included in This Subscription
Enterprise Protection activates the complete FortiGuard service set on the FortiGate 50G-SFP-PoE:
- IPS: inline intrusion prevention with continuous FortiGuard signature updates covering thousands of CVEs and protocol-level threats.
- AI-based Inline Malware Prevention: machine learning-based inspection that blocks novel malware variants in real time — beyond what signature-only AV catches.
- Inline CASB Database: cloud application visibility and control, allowing policy enforcement on SaaS platforms at the firewall level.
- DLP: scans outbound data flows for regulated patterns — payment card numbers, healthcare identifiers, custom expressions — to prevent accidental or intentional data exfiltration.
- Application Control: Layer 7 enforcement across thousands of application signatures, including granular policy per application category.
- URL / DNS / Video Filtering: real-time FortiGuard-powered web filtering at both HTTP and DNS layers, with video category controls.
- Anti-spam: email threat filtering using FortiGuard’s phishing and spam databases for inbound flows.
- Attack Surface Security: device profiling and posture scoring for connected endpoints including IoT and OT devices.
- FortiConverter Service: policy migration tooling from third-party firewall platforms to FortiOS.
- FortiCare Premium: 24×7 technical support with advanced case handling and hardware replacement.

When Three Years Is the Right Term
The three-year term suits organizations that want meaningful coverage without locking in for the full appliance lifecycle. It’s common when a site is mid-way through a refresh cycle and the team expects to reassess hardware in three to four years. It’s also a practical choice when compliance requirements mandate Enterprise-level services (DLP, CASB) but the budget cycle doesn’t support a five-year outlay. If the FortiGate 50G-SFP-PoE is a long-term fixture with no refresh in the plan, the five-year option (FC-10-F50GP-809-02-60) offers better total cost of ownership.

Questions about whether Enterprise, UTP, or ATP is the right tier for a specific compliance requirement? We can walk through it with you before you commit.
What does Enterprise Protection add that UTP doesn’t include?
Enterprise adds DLP, Inline CASB, AI-based Inline Malware Prevention, Attack Surface Security, OT Security, and FortiConverter Service on top of UTP. For compliance programs that require data exfiltration controls or cloud application governance, these services close the gap that UTP leaves open.
Is the FC-10-F50GP-809-02-36 hardware or software?
Software only — this is a FortiGuard subscription license. It activates Enterprise services on an existing FortiGate 50G-SFP-PoE unit. Hardware is not included. See the FG-50G-SFP-POE-BDL-809 bundle listings if you need hardware and an Enterprise subscription together.
What compliance frameworks does Enterprise Protection support?
The DLP, CASB, and IPS controls in Enterprise Protection are commonly mapped to PCI DSS (data security controls), HIPAA (PHI protection), SOC 2 (network monitoring controls), and NIST CSF (detect/protect functions). Specific control mappings depend on your implementation configuration — DataCenter360.ca can connect you with a Fortinet technical resource for a compliance mapping review.
Does this subscription cover the PoE ports on the FortiGate 50G-SFP-PoE?
Yes. Enterprise Protection applies to all traffic processed by the FortiGate 50G-SFP-PoE, including traffic entering through the PoE LAN ports. Devices connected to those ports — cameras, APs, phones — are subject to the same IPS, application control, and DLP policies as any other endpoint on the network.
Can I renew or extend this subscription when it expires?
Yes. FortiGuard subscriptions renew at the same or a different term length. You can renew for another one, three, or five years at expiry. DataCenter360.ca sends renewal reminders ahead of the expiry date. If you want to step down to UTP at renewal, that’s an option too — just order the UTP term that aligns with your next budget cycle.
