FORTINET FC-10-0500E-980-02-DD FortiGate 500E Legacy Enterprise Protection Subscription

FC-10-0500E-980-02-DD Procurement Check

FC-10-0500E-980-02-DD is a historical Enterprise Protection subscription combining FortiCare with application control, IPS, antivirus, web filtering, antispam, cloud sandbox, security rating and other platform-dependent services for one existing FortiGate 500E. It is a service entitlement for an existing appliance; it does not include firewall hardware, automatic deployment, endpoint protection, managed operations or a guarantee that every historical component remains orderable.

Platform Validation

Build the 500E validation around multiple application classes and traffic volumes. Confirm service updates, inspect representative policies and test allowed business traffic, blocked categories, IPS signatures and a vendor-safe malware workflow. Review sandbox, security rating and cloud features through their own prerequisites and accounts. Record latency, false positives, logging destinations and the precise emergency bypass owner.

The 500E acceptance process moves from observation to narrow enforcement and only then to wider policy. A rollback threshold is defined before the test, temporary bypasses expire automatically, and application teams approve user impact. This keeps a broad protection bundle from becoming one unreviewed global switch.

Term and Successor

The DD suffix represents a variable-duration ordering record. Contract dates, service composition and current successor codes must come from the quote and registered serial rather than being inferred from the URL.

Historical Enterprise Protection composition changed over time. Validate every required service against current Fortinet ordering information and the platform release; do not copy inclusions or cloud-user allowances from a different model or generation.

• Verify serial, FortiOS, term, lifecycle, service updates, current composition and successor.
• Map application, IPS, malware, web, mail, sandbox and rating functions to policies and owners.
• Run harmless positive, negative, exception, logging and rollback tests.
• Record unsupported or unused components, overlap, user impact and renewal decision.
