Fortinet FortiGate 1800F-DC Advanced Malware Protection (AMP), 1-Year (FC-10-D18HF-100-02-12)

A FortiGate 1800F-DC running without its Advanced Malware Protection subscription is missing its file-inspection engine: the box still routes and filters, but nothing on it is checking the files crossing the wire against Fortinet’s threat intelligence. FC-10-D18HF-100-02-12 is the 1-year AMP license for the FortiGate 1800F-DC, the DC-powered variant of the 1800F built for telecom central offices and data centers running -48V DC power plants instead of AC.

What This License Covers

AMP is Fortinet’s file-content security stack, bundled as one line item on the 1800F-DC’s FortiCare account for twelve months:

• Antivirus (AV): signature and engine updates for real-time known-malware detection and blocking.
• Botnet Domains: static classification of malicious botnet domains, feeding DNS filter redirects to the block portal.
• Mobile Malware: signature and behavioral detection for threats targeting mobile devices on the network.
• Virus Outbreak Protection: queries FortiGuard’s global threat intelligence for hash-based zero-day detection ahead of signature releases.
• Content Disarm & Reconstruct (CDR): strips malicious code from files and rebuilds clean versions while keeping the original format usable.
• AI-based Heuristic AV: machine-learning file analysis for malware that has no signature yet.
• FortiGate Cloud Sandbox: submits suspicious files and URLs to a cloud sandbox for behavioral verdicting.

All of it activates against the AV profile already configured on the firewall; no additional hardware or module is required.

Who Needs FortiGate 1800F-DC AMP

This license fits a network team that already has IPS, web filtering, or another security stack from a different vendor and only wants Fortinet’s file-inspection layer on the 1800F-DC, or a team renewing an existing AMP term without touching the rest of the device’s subscriptions. It is common on data-center and carrier deployments where the DC-power form factor is already locked in and the security stack is purchased à la carte to match a specific compliance or procurement requirement.

One Service vs. the UTP / Enterprise Bundle

AMP by itself covers file content. It does not include the network intrusion prevention, web/DNS filtering, or data-loss protection that come packaged into Fortinet’s FortiGuard bundles. Here is where AMP alone stops and where the UTP, ATP, and Enterprise bundles pick up:

If the 1800F-DC is going to need URL filtering or IPS coverage eventually, stepping up to a bundle at renewal usually works out cheaper than stacking separate à la carte lines.

Activation & Delivery

FC-10-D18HF-100-02-12 is a subscription license, not a shipped item. After checkout, DataCenter360.ca applies the entitlement to the unit’s registered serial number through the FortiCare account (or issues the registration code for a device you’ll register yourself). Delivery is electronic, typically same business day, and the license activates from the FortiGate 1800F-DC’s dashboard once linked. No hardware ships with this SKU.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca processes FortiGate license renewals and new-service activations daily, so the FortiCare linking step is handled correctly the first time rather than left for the buyer to troubleshoot. Reach out before ordering if you’re not sure whether AMP alone covers your compliance needs or if a bundle makes more sense for the 1800F-DC’s renewal cycle.
