Fortinet FortiGate 1000F Advanced Malware Protection (AMP), 1-Year (FC-10-F1K0F-100-02-12)

The FortiGate 1000F ships without antivirus or sandbox scanning turned on until a security service is attached, and FC-10-F1K0F-100-02-12 is the 1-year subscription that switches on Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) for a 1000F you already own or have on order. It covers antivirus signatures, mobile malware detection, and FortiGate Cloud Sandbox submission, delivered as an electronic license tied to the appliance’s serial number, sold worldwide with no hardware in the box.

What this license covers

AMP on the 1000F bundles several file-content protections into one line item, per Fortinet’s FortiGuard Security Services ordering guide:

• Antivirus (AV): signature and engine updates that detect and block known malware patterns in real time.
• Mobile Malware: signature and behavioral detection aimed at threats to mobile devices crossing the firewall.
• Botnet Domains: static domain classification that flags and blocks known botnet infrastructure.
• Virus Outbreak Protection: queries FortiGuard’s global threat intelligence for malware hash matches ahead of formal signature releases, catching fast-moving outbreaks early.
• AI-based Heuristic AV: machine-learning detection for malware that doesn’t match a known signature.
• FortiGate Cloud Sandbox: submits suspicious files and URLs to a cloud sandbox for behavioral analysis before a verdict is returned.

These run on top of the 1000F’s SPU-accelerated architecture (NP7 network processor, CP9 content processor), which is what lets a 2RU appliance carry file inspection at data-center traffic volumes without becoming the bottleneck.

Is AMP alone enough, or should this be a bundle?

AMP is one layer of the FortiGuard stack. The lead-in question most buyers ask is whether they need it standalone or bundled with IPS and web filtering. Fortinet’s bundle matrix shows AMP is a component of both the UTP and Enterprise bundles on the 1000F, not a separate purchase from them:

Buying AMP by itself makes sense when a 1000F is already covered for IPS and filtering under an existing contract and only the malware/sandbox layer needs renewing or adding. If the deployment has no other FortiGuard coverage at all, the UTP subscription (FC-10-F1K0F-950-02-12) folds AMP in alongside IPS and web/DNS filtering for a step up in scope rather than stacking separate line items.

Who needs this license

Typical buyers run a 1000F at a data center edge or campus core and need file-based threat scanning live on a device that’s otherwise covered by other services, or they’re renewing an AMP contract that’s about to lapse. It also fits shops that intentionally keep their FortiGuard services unbundled so budget and coverage can be tracked service by service instead of as one combined spend.

Activation & delivery

There’s no physical shipment with this SKU. Once the order is placed, DataCenter360.ca registers the entitlement against the 1000F’s serial number in FortiCare, and the appliance picks up AMP scanning on its next FortiGuard check-in, usually within minutes. Because delivery is electronic, the license is available to buyers anywhere in the world, not just Canada.

Buying this from DataCenter360.ca

We list FortiGate 1000F subscriptions as individual services rather than forcing every renewal into a bundle, so a team that only needs AMP renewed isn’t paying for filtering or DLP it doesn’t use. If you’re not sure whether your current 1000F contract already has this coverage, or whether stepping up to UTP makes more sense for your traffic, our team can check the existing entitlement before you order.
