Fortinet FortiGate 121G Advanced Malware Protection, 1-Year (FC-10-F121G-100-02-12)

Most malware arriving in enterprise networks today doesn’t look like the malware of five years ago. It’s fileless, polymorphic, or purpose-built for a specific target. The FC-10-F121G-100-02-12 adds a 1-Year Advanced Malware Protection subscription to your FortiGate 121G, giving the device a layered set of detection engines designed to catch both known threats and previously unseen variants before they execute.

What Advanced Malware Protection Turns On

The AMP subscription for the FortiGate 121G activates several complementary detection layers, all running in-line on traffic flowing through the device:

• Antivirus (AV): Continuously updated signatures match file patterns against FortiGuard’s global threat intelligence database in real time.
• Botnet Domain Detection: Static domain-based classification blocks DNS lookups to known malicious infrastructure, stopping callbacks from already-infected endpoints.
• Mobile Malware: Signature and behavioral analysis extended to mobile device traffic on the network.
• Virus Outbreak Protection: Queries FortiGuard servers for malware hash signatures before local signatures arrive, providing zero-day detection in the gap between threat discovery and signature release.
• Content Disarm and Reconstruct (CDR): Strips active content from common file types (Office, PDF) and rebuilds clean versions — blocking macro exploits and embedded threats without blocking the file itself.
• AI-based Heuristic AV: Machine learning engine analyzes file behavior and characteristics to flag unknown malware not yet in any signature database.
• FortiGate Cloud Sandbox: Submits suspicious files to a cloud-based sandbox environment for behavioral analysis when local engines are uncertain.

Who Needs a Standalone AMP Subscription

Organizations that already have separate IPS or URL filtering contracts may want to add the AMP layer without moving to a full bundle. The -100- SKU is also common in environments adding FortiGate 121G units to an existing perimeter where file-based threats are the top concern. Procurement teams that require per-service line items rather than bundle SKUs also use this model.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-F121G-100-02-12 is a software license, tied to the serial number of your specific FortiGate 121G. After purchase, you register it through the FortiCare portal and it activates immediately. Electronic delivery takes 0–1 business days. No physical device or media is shipped.

One Service vs. a Bundle

The AMP subscription activates malware protection only. The ATP, UTP, and Enterprise bundles include everything in AMP and add IPS, URL/DNS filtering, FortiCare Premium support, and in the Enterprise tier, DLP and attack surface security. If your 121G is only licensed with AMP today, the bundle comparison below shows what a full upgrade would add.
