Fortinet FortiGate 1101E AI-based Inline Malware Prevention, 1-Year (FC-10-F11E1-577-02-12)

High-throughput firewall environments face a specific challenge: malware inspection that slows traffic is inspection that gets turned off. The FortiGate 1101E AI-based Inline Malware Prevention (FC-10-F11E1-577-02-12) addresses this directly. It runs zero-day malware analysis in-line, on the firewall itself, and delivers verdicts in sub-second time without routing files through a cloud sandbox. For enterprises that cannot afford inspection gaps or latency penalties, this is the service that closes those gaps.

What the AI-based Inline Malware Prevention Service Covers

The FortiGuard Inline Malware Prevention Service (service code 577) adds a dedicated zero-day protection layer on top of the FortiGate 1101E’s existing security policies. Specifically it provides:

• Real-time inline detection of unknown and novel malware files before they reach endpoints
• AI/ML-powered analysis that runs on the FortiGate hardware itself, not in a remote cloud queue
• Sub-second verdicts so high-speed traffic flows are not stalled waiting for sandbox results
• Built-in MITRE ATT&CK matrix mapping to accelerate incident triage and response
• Protection against zero-day threats, ransomware delivery files, and previously unseen malware families

Note: cloud-based sandbox zero-day detection is included in the ATP and UTP bundles, but Inline Malware Prevention is an additional layer that provides inline enforcement rather than deferred sandbox analysis. The two approaches complement each other.

Who Needs This Service

This subscription is suited to FortiGate 1101E owners in these situations:

• Organizations already running the ATP or UTP bundle who want to add the inline zero-day layer that those bundles do not include
• Security teams that need inline file inspection with MITRE ATT&CK-mapped verdicts for faster SOC investigation
• Enterprises in regulated sectors where zero-day file threats must be blocked before reaching internal networks, not just detected after the fact
• Environments where network throughput is high enough that asynchronous sandbox delay is operationally unacceptable

This Service vs. the FortiGuard Bundles
