Fortinet FortiGate 201E Advanced Malware Protection (AMP), 1-Year (FC-10-00208-100-02-12)

Most FortiGate 201E deployments reach a point where the immediate risk isn’t coming from the web or network layer — it’s coming through email attachments, file shares, and portable media. If your 201E already has IPS and access control policies set, but antivirus and sandbox coverage has either lapsed or was never activated, the Advanced Malware Protection subscription closes that specific gap. This 1-year AMP license restores the full FortiGuard file-security stack without requiring a bundle upgrade or hardware change.

What Advanced Malware Protection Covers

The AMP service activates six coordinated file-inspection and threat-intelligence capabilities on the FortiGate 201E:

• Antivirus (AV): Real-time signature-based detection using continuously updated FortiGuard feeds. Files crossing the firewall are scanned as they transit, blocking known threats before they reach internal systems.
• Mobile Malware: Detects threats targeting mobile operating systems using both signature matching and behavioral analysis, covering traffic from BYOD and mobile-heavy environments.
• FortiGate Cloud Sandbox: Submits suspicious files to the FortiGuard cloud environment for behavioral analysis, catching unknown threats not covered by existing signatures.
• Virus Outbreak Protection: Queries FortiGuard’s Global Threat Intelligence servers for malware hash signatures in real time, enabling detection of emerging variants before local signature updates are deployed.
• Content Disarm and Reconstruct (CDR): Strips active content from files — macros, scripts, embedded objects — and delivers a clean reconstructed version, preserving file format while removing the threat payload.
• AI-based Heuristic AV: A machine-learning engine that identifies unknown malware by analyzing file structure and behavioral characteristics, operating alongside traditional signature detection.

Who This Subscription Is For

The FC-10-00208-100-02-12 serves two main buyer types. First, organizations running a FortiGate 201E with IPS and NGFW policies already configured, but AMP either lapsed or was never licensed. This is the renewal path to restore file-threat coverage without a full bundle commitment. Second, teams in sectors with high file-transfer exposure (legal, healthcare, accounting, manufacturing) where the risk model focuses on malware in attachments and shared drives rather than web threats or spam.

The FortiGate 201E reached end-of-order in October 2025, but service renewals remain available through October 2029 (LSED). Customers running 201E hardware in the field can continue renewing AMP and other individual services for the remainder of the supported lifecycle.

Activation and Delivery

This subscription delivers electronically worldwide. After purchase, a Fortinet entitlement key arrives by email within 0 to 1 business days. Register it against your FortiGate 201E serial number on the Fortinet Support portal (support.fortinet.com) and AMP activates immediately. No hardware shipment or field technician visit is needed.

AMP Alone vs. the FortiGuard Bundles

Advanced Malware Protection is included in all three FortiGuard security bundles for the FortiGate platform. Buying it as a standalone service makes sense when file-level coverage is the only missing piece. If broader protection is needed, here is how the bundles compare:

For most 201E renewal scenarios, the UTP bundle (FC-10-00208-950-02-12) offers a practical upgrade path: it adds IPS, web filtering, and FortiCare Premium support at a cost that typically exceeds standalone AMP by less than the sum of purchasing each service separately.
