Fortinet FortiGate 901G-DC FortiGuard IPS Service, 1-Year (FC-10-FD9H1-108-02-12)

Known exploits and network attacks are what an intrusion prevention engine is built to stop, and on a FortiGate 901G-DC the 1-Year FortiGuard IPS Service (FC-10-FD9H1-108-02-12) keeps that engine fed with current signatures for a full year. It is a FortiGuard subscription license only, no appliance, delivered electronically to any country.

What this service covers

The subscription streams FortiGuard IPS signatures to the 901G-DC so it can detect and block exploit attempts, known malware command-and-control traffic, and protocol anomalies, and it delivers virtual patching that shields unpatched systems behind the firewall while you schedule real updates. Signature and protocol-decoder updates arrive automatically as FortiGuard publishes them.

Who needs it

IPS is a baseline for almost any perimeter or segmentation firewall, so this line is for teams standing up a 901G-DC that need active exploit protection without buying a full bundle yet, or renewing IPS on an appliance where the other services are handled separately.

Where it sits in the FortiGuard bundles

IPS is included in every FortiGuard bundle, from ATP up through UTP and Enterprise. Buying it on its own, as here, makes sense when you only need intrusion prevention. The table shows what each bundle adds around it on the FortiGate 901G-DC:

FortiGuard service	ATP	UTP	Enterprise
Intrusion Prevention (IPS)	✓	✓	✓
Advanced Malware Protection & Antivirus	✓	✓	✓
Application Control	✓	✓	✓
URL, DNS & Video Filtering	—	✓	✓
Anti-Spam	—	✓	✓
Attack Surface Security & DLP	—	—	✓
OT Security	—	—	✓

Activation and delivery

We email the license after payment. Register it to your FortiGate 901G-DC serial in the Fortinet support portal and IPS signature updates begin flowing from FortiGuard. No physical shipment is involved.
