FC-10-0401E-108-02-DD Intrusion Prevention Record

FC-10-0401E-108-02-DD is the FortiGuard Intrusion Prevention Service entitlement for one existing FortiGate 401E. It supplies IPS engine and signature updates; it does not include a firewall appliance, replacement hardware or managed policy operation.

Installed Device Workflow

The platform token 0401E maps this entitlement to a storage-equipped E-series mid-range firewall. Capture the 401E serial, zone ownership, HA peer, SSD health, IPS sensors, protected protocols and central export destination.

Use local event history to analyze signature disputes before changing an action. Every exclusion should name the requesting team, exact signature or protocol, affected policy, approval and review date.

Retest the business flow and a controlled blocked pattern, then verify SSD logging, central export and HA behavior. The security owner and evidence custodian should independently sign off the result.

For the 401E, create a local-event checkpoint before modifying any disputed signature and export it with a checksum. The application owner supplies a reproducible flow while the security owner confirms the exact sensor action. If an exclusion is approved, keep it to one policy and one protocol with a review date. Closure requires SSD health, local evidence, central ingestion and HA synchronization to agree after retesting.

Eligibility and Dates

Before registration, match the exact appliance serial and FortiCare account, then verify the installed FortiOS release, enabled IPS sensors, inspection mode and available capacity. Signature behavior and protocol coverage depend on the deployed configuration, not the order code alone.

The DD suffix does not state a fixed duration on this page. Preserve the authorized quote, exact start and end dates, co-termination terms, serial, account and registration region.

Included Security Function

Fortinet identifies service code 108 as IPS. The service supports signature-based detection and protocol analysis for identifying and blocking malicious traffic, including malicious URL and botnet indicators used by IPS controls. It is distinct from antivirus, web filtering, hardware support and a managed SOC service.

• Match 0401E, the exact FortiGate 401E serial and FortiCare account.
• Inventory IPS sensors, protected policies, exceptions and logging destinations.
• Verify FortiOS compatibility, inspection capacity and overlapping bundle coverage.
• Retain allowed-flow, blocked-pattern and event-delivery acceptance evidence.
