FC-10-0501E-988-02-DD, Fortinet FortiGate-501E License, 360 Protection/60 users/SD-WAN Cloud

The Fortinet FC-10-0501E-988-02-DD is a security subscription license designed for the FortiGate 501E next-generation firewall, positioned for enterprise and distributed network protection. This FortiGuard 360 Protection Bundle delivers a full set of advanced security services over a 3 years term, helping organizations in Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America keep networks safe and compliant. With this license, FortiGate 501E users gain continuous updates for Application Control, IPS, Antivirus, Web Filtering, and Antispam, so policies stay effective against new and evolving threats without complex manual tuning.

FC-10-0501E-988-02-DD includes ASE FortiCare support, giving distributors, small and midsize integrators, and end customers priority technical assistance and faster incident resolution. This makes it easier to deploy and maintain FortiGate 501E appliances across branches, data centers, and hybrid cloud gateways. The bundle also activates FortiSandbox Cloud integration, which analyzes suspicious files in an isolated environment, reducing the risk of zero-day and targeted attacks reaching users or critical applications.

For SD-WAN projects, the FC-10-0501E-988-02-DD license enables SD-WAN Cloud Assisted Monitoring and SD-WAN Overlay Controller VPN, helping partners and enterprises optimize link usage, improve application performance, and simplify secure connectivity between multiple sites. Security Rating and Industrial Security services provide clear guidance and signatures tailored to OT and industrial networks, which is important for manufacturing, utilities, and other critical sectors. These services help evaluate the security posture of the FortiGate 501E setup and guide best-practice configurations over time.

Cloud-based management is another key benefit of this subscription license. FortiManager Cloud and FortiAnalyzer Cloud make it possible to manage multiple devices, push policies, and review logs and reports from a central, hosted platform. This reduces on-premises management overhead and is especially useful for regional distributors and managed service providers who support many customer sites. The bundle also includes FortiConverter Service to assist with migrating from legacy firewall configurations, which shortens deployment time and reduces migration errors.

Finally, FC-10-0501E-988-02-DD adds FortiCASB support for up to 60 users, providing better visibility and control for SaaS applications such as office productivity suites and cloud storage. This is valuable for mid-sized companies that rely heavily on cloud services but still need consistent security and compliance controls. Overall, this 3 years new service subscription license transforms the FortiGate 501E into a fully integrated security and SD-WAN platform, ready for modern enterprise networks and managed service offerings.
