Fortinet FortiGate 1100E-DC AI-based Inline Malware Prevention, 1-Year (FC-10-F11DE-577-02-12)

Your FortiGate 1100E-DC processes up to 9.8 Gbps of IPS traffic through Fortinet’s NP6 and CP9 ASICs. The FC-10-F11DE-577-02-12 subscription adds AI-based Inline Malware Prevention (ILMPS) — a FortiGuard layer that evaluates every file inline, in real time, and delivers a block-or-pass verdict in under a second without routing traffic through an external sandbox.

What AI-based Inline Malware Prevention Covers

ILMPS operates at the network edge to intercept unknown files and executables before they reach endpoints or internal systems. The FortiGuard AI engine running on the FortiGate 1100E-DC:

• Analyzes unknown files inline with no performance bottleneck, with sub-second verdicts
• Detects and blocks zero-day and novel malware that signature-based antivirus misses
• Maps detected threats to the MITRE ATT&CK® matrix for accelerated incident investigation
• Blocks unknown threats before they pass through the firewall, rather than queuing them for later analysis
• Complements existing AMP and antivirus layers for files that cloud sandbox tools would analyze asynchronously

Cloud sandbox services included in the ATP and UTP bundles send suspicious files to an external environment for asynchronous analysis, meaning a file may pass through initially while analysis is still in progress. ILMPS inspects files inline and blocks threats at the point of entry. That distinction is significant on the FortiGate 1100E-DC, which is deployed at datacenter perimeters, core distribution layers, and high-throughput branch aggregation points where delaying or passing unknown files is not acceptable.

Who Uses This License

FC-10-F11DE-577-02-12 fits three common scenarios:

• Adding inline zero-day protection to an existing ATP or UTP subscription: organizations that have cloud sandboxing in place but need inline blocking to eliminate the gap where unknown files pass during analysis.
• Custom à-la-carte stacks: security architects who prefer to select individual FortiGuard services rather than adopting a full bundle, for budget or compliance reasons.
• Targeted renewal: an existing Enterprise bundle has expired, and only the ILMPS layer needs renewing at this term while other services are handled separately.

Activation and Delivery

This is an electronic subscription delivered worldwide within 0 to 1 business days. After purchase from DataCenter360.ca, the Fortinet license key arrives by email. Activation is handled in the FortiGate dashboard under System > FortiGuard — no hardware shipment and no return authorization. The subscription runs for exactly one year from the activation date on the device.

ILMPS as a Standalone Service vs. the Enterprise Bundle

AI-based Inline Malware Prevention is part of the Enterprise bundle (FC-10-F11DE-809-02-12) but is not included in the UTP (950) or ATP (811) bundles. If your security requirements are scoped to inline zero-day blocking, purchasing ILMPS separately is precise and cost-effective. If you need broader coverage across IPS, web filtering, sandboxing, DLP, and support, the Enterprise bundle generally delivers more value per dollar:

If ILMPS is the only protection layer you need right now, this subscription is the precise tool. When building or renewing a broader security stack, the Enterprise bundle is worth comparing side by side.
