Fortinet FortiWiFi 30G IPS Service, 1-Year (FC-10-FW30G-108-02-12)

Intrusion prevention only works if its signatures keep pace with current exploits. The FortiWiFi 30G 1-Year IPS Service (FC-10-FW30G-108-02-12) keeps the FortiGuard IPS engine on your FWF-30G stocked with fresh signatures for twelve months, inspecting traffic for known attack patterns and blocking exploits before they reach internal systems. No hardware is included; the license is delivered electronically and activates against a specific FortiWiFi 30G by serial number.

What this service covers

FC-10-FW30G-108-02-12 enables FortiGuard Intrusion Prevention on your FortiWiFi 30G for 12 months:

• Signature-based intrusion detection and prevention inspects inbound and outbound traffic against a continuously updated database of known exploits, vulnerability probes, and attack patterns.
• Protocol anomaly detection identifies traffic that deviates from RFC-defined protocol behavior, catching zero-day-style attacks that do not yet have a matching signature.
• Application control signatures provide visibility into applications traversing the firewall, enabling policy enforcement beyond port-based controls.
• FortiGuard Labs updates deliver new IPS signatures as Fortinet researchers identify emerging threats, keeping protections current throughout the subscription term.

Who needs it

This service suits branch sites where the FortiWiFi 30G is the perimeter firewall and intrusion prevention is the specific capability to add: SMBs updating partially licensed devices, IT teams with constrained budgets adding protection incrementally, or organizations that have their content filtering and malware protection covered and need IPS to close the gap.

Activation and delivery

After purchase you receive a registration code to apply to your FortiWiFi 30G serial number. No hardware ships. The appliance begins pulling IPS signature updates from FortiGuard Labs immediately after activation. An active FortiCare support contract on the FWF-30G is required for FortiGuard services to operate.

Standalone IPS versus the bundle

IPS is included in all three FortiGuard bundle tiers for the FortiWiFi 30G. If you need IPS plus URL/DNS filtering, anti-malware, and FortiCare Premium together, the UTP bundle combines those and typically costs less than buying services separately. The table below shows where IPS sits in the tier structure. Buy this standalone SKU when IPS alone is the gap you are closing.
