Fortinet FortiGate 1801F Advanced Malware Protection (AMP), 1-Year (FC-10-F18F1-100-02-12)

An 1801F running a broad security profile still needs its malware engine renewed on schedule. The FortiGate 1801F 1-Year Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) Service (FC-10-F18F1-100-02-12) keeps antivirus, mobile malware detection, and FortiGate Cloud Sandbox inspection active on a FortiGate 1801F for twelve months. It is a subscription only: no hardware ships, and delivery is electronic to any country.

What this service covers

Three malware-focused controls stay current on the appliance for the full term:

• Antivirus: FortiGuard signature and heuristic scanning inspects file transfers and web traffic for known malicious payloads, with continuous database updates from FortiGuard Labs.
• Mobile Malware Protection: extends detection to mobile-targeted threats, including malicious APKs and mobile-specific exploit patterns traversing the firewall.
• FortiGate Cloud Sandbox: suspicious files that pass initial inspection are detonated in an isolated cloud environment; behavior-based analysis catches evasive and previously unseen malware that signature matching alone would miss.

All three layers run against traffic crossing the FortiGate 1801F, which is built for high-throughput data center and campus core deployments where malware inspection can’t become the bottleneck.

Who needs the standalone service

This license fits a 1801F that already has other FortiGuard coverage in place, IPS or web filtering under a separate contract, or a FortiCare support agreement, and just needs the antivirus, mobile malware, and sandbox layer renewed or added on its own. For a 1801F with no active FortiGuard subscriptions at all, a bundle covers more ground per dollar than buying each service individually.

Standalone AMP vs. the subscription bundles

Advanced Malware Protection is included in every FortiGuard subscription bundle available for the FortiGate 1801F, from the entry-level tier up. The table below shows where AMP sits relative to the other protections each bundle adds:

Because AMP is included at every tier, a 1801F starting from zero coverage is usually better served by the ATP bundle (FC-10-F18F1-811-02-12, where in stock) or the UTP subscription (FC-10-F18F1-950-02-12), each folding this service into a broader package rather than buying it as a standalone renewal.

Activation and delivery

The license is issued electronically and registered to the specific FortiGate 1801F by serial number. Once applied, antivirus and mobile malware signatures update automatically and the sandbox inspection path activates for the full 12-month term. Nothing ships, and no reboot beyond the normal FortiGuard update cycle is required.
