Fortinet FortiGate 1001F Advanced Malware Protection (AMP), 1-Year (FC-10-F1K1F-100-02-12)

Plenty of FortiGate 1001F deployments run IPS and web filtering from day one but skip the file-inspection layer, either because it was licensed separately at first purchase or the appliance moved between roles and lost coverage along the way. The FortiGate 1001F FortiGuard Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) Service, 1-Year (FC-10-F1K1F-100-02-12) closes that specific gap: antivirus, mobile malware, and cloud sandbox detection for twelve months, delivered electronically to any country.

What this service covers

AMP is the file-content security layer of FortiGuard, and this license activates its full set on the FortiGate 1001F for the term purchased:

• Antivirus (AV): signature and engine updates that detect and block known virus and malware patterns in real time as traffic crosses the firewall.
• Botnet Domains: static domain classification that identifies and blocks known botnet command-and-control infrastructure.
• Mobile Malware: signature and behavioral detection aimed at threats targeting mobile devices on the network.
• Virus Outbreak Protection: queries FortiGuard’s global threat intelligence for malware hash matches, catching zero-day activity before standard signatures are published.
• Content Disarm & Reconstruct: strips active/malicious code from files and rebuilds a clean version, keeping the original format intact.
• AI-based Heuristic AV: machine-learning analysis of file behavior to flag malware that has no existing signature yet.
• FortiGate Cloud Sandbox: submits suspicious files and URLs for cloud-based behavioral analysis when local inspection isn’t conclusive.

FortiGuard Labs pushes updated malware definitions and cloud sandbox verdicts continuously through the license term, so the 1001F’s file inspection stays current without a firmware upgrade.

Who needs the standalone service

This license fits a FortiGate 1001F that already has IPS, web filtering, or FortiCare support active but is missing file-level malware inspection, for example a unit purchased hardware-only and licensed piece by piece, or one where AMP lapsed while other services were renewed. For a fresh 1001F with no FortiGuard subscriptions running yet, the UTP or Enterprise bundle is usually the better starting point: both include AMP alongside IPS, web filtering, and the rest of the stack at a lower combined cost than buying each service individually.

One service vs. the subscription bundles

Advanced Malware Protection ships inside all three FortiGuard bundle tiers for the FortiGate 1001F, ATP, UTP, and Enterprise, which is what makes it a common building block regardless of which bundle direction a deployment eventually takes. The table below shows where this standalone AMP license sits against the bundle tiers:

Because AMP is common to every tier, buying it alone only makes sense when it is the one missing piece. If the 1001F needs broader coverage, the UTP subscription (FC-10-F1K1F-950-02-12) or Enterprise subscription (FC-10-F1K1F-809-02-12) bundles AMP with IPS and the rest of the FortiGuard stack under one renewal date.

Activation and delivery

This is an electronic license tied to the FortiGate 1001F’s serial number through the FortiCare account; nothing ships physically. Once applied, AV, mobile malware, and cloud sandbox definitions push to the appliance for the full 12-month term, and a registered 1001F must already exist before the license can activate.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

As an authorized Fortinet Select Partner, DataCenter360.ca processes this AMP license the same way for a Canadian account or one managed from anywhere else in the world, since delivery is electronic either way.
