Fortinet FortiGate 71G OT Security Service, 1-Year (FC-10-GT71G-159-02-12)

Operational technology networks run protocols and assets that standard IT threat prevention tools were not designed for. The 1-Year FortiGuard OT Security subscription (FC-10-GT71G-159-02-12) loads the FortiGate 71G with OT-specific intelligence: asset discovery for PLC, RTU, HMI, and SCADA devices; OT application and service detection; OT vulnerability correlation; and virtual patching for known OT CVEs. It is designed for organizations running both IT and OT traffic through the same FortiGate firewall.

What the OT Security Service Activates

FortiGuard OT Security extends the FortiGate 71G’s visibility and protection into the OT environment. OT asset discovery uses protocol-aware detection to identify and classify industrial devices on the network. OT application and service detection recognizes protocols such as Modbus, DNP3, IEC 61850, and EtherNet/IP, providing visibility into OT communication patterns. OT vulnerability correlation maps discovered assets against a database of known OT CVEs, surfacing exposure risk specific to the actual devices on the network. Virtual patching creates IPS signatures for OT vulnerabilities so the FortiGate can block exploit traffic targeting unpatched OT equipment, without requiring a firmware change on the OT device itself.

Who Uses the OT Security Subscription

The 71G is compact enough for substation, factory floor, or remote-site deployments where a dedicated OT security appliance is not practical. Any organization converging IT and OT networks on the same firewall, including small industrial facilities, utilities, and remote SCADA sites, benefits from OT-specific signature coverage. The 1-year term suits organizations starting an OT security program or those piloting OT visibility tools before committing to a longer subscription.

Activation and Delivery

The license ships electronically within 0 to 1 business days to any country. Register the key in FortiCare and associate it with the FortiGate 71G serial number. OT Security features activate on the next FortiGuard update cycle after registration. OT asset visibility and protocol detection work through FortiOS security profiles applied to the policies covering OT-facing interfaces. No hardware modifications are needed.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

Organizations adding OT security capabilities to an existing FortiGate 71G deployment can layer this subscription on top of whatever other FortiGuard services are already active. DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner and MSSP authorized to supply Fortinet licenses for any country. Delivery is electronic, typically same business day, with no shipping delay for international customers. For multi-year OT security programs, the 3-year (FC-10-GT71G-159-02-36) and 5-year (FC-10-GT71G-159-02-60) terms are also available.
