FortiGate 201E FortiGuard AI-based Inline Malware Prevention — 1-Year Subscription
FC-10-00208-577-02-12 is a 1-Year FortiGuard AI-based Inline Malware Prevention Service (ILMPS) subscription for the FortiGate 201E. ILMPS extends the FortiGate 201E’s threat inspection pipeline with a cloud-assisted, machine-learning-powered malware detection layer that operates in real time on live traffic—inline, before threats reach internal systems.
Unlike traditional signature-based antivirus, ILMPS uses AI models trained on Fortinet’s global threat telemetry to identify novel and zero-day malware variants that have not yet been categorized in signature databases. The service runs within the FortiGate’s existing inspection framework and does not require additional hardware. Important: ILMPS requires an active FortiGuard Enterprise Protection (809) or equivalent Enterprise bundle on the device to operate. The license is delivered electronically worldwide within 0–1 business days.
What FC-10-00208-577-02-12 Includes
- AI/ML inline malware detection — machine learning models applied to live traffic on the FortiGate 201E to identify unknown and zero-day malware in real time
- Cloud-assisted analysis — suspected files and code patterns are submitted to FortiGuard’s cloud threat analysis infrastructure for rapid verdict, with inline blocking of confirmed threats
- Behavioral analysis — detection based on code behavior and structural patterns rather than signatures alone, improving catch rates against evasive malware
- Integration with FortiGuard threat intelligence — verdicts are correlated with FortiGuard’s global threat database for context and attribution
- Enterprise bundle prerequisite — this service functions as an add-on to an Enterprise Protection (809) or equivalent bundle, not as a standalone license
Who Needs ILMPS on the FortiGate 201E?
ILMPS is designed for Enterprise-licensed FortiGate 201E deployments in environments with elevated risk of targeted or sophisticated malware attacks—such as healthcare, finance, critical infrastructure, and enterprise branch offices. It is appropriate where traditional AV signatures may not be sufficient against novel threats, and where real-time inline blocking (rather than post-detection remediation) is required.
Does ILMPS require the Enterprise (809) bundle to work?
Yes. The FortiGuard AI-based Inline Malware Prevention Service (svc 577) is an Enterprise-tier add-on for the FortiGate 201E. It requires an active FortiGuard Enterprise Protection bundle (FC-10-00208-809-02-12) or equivalent to function. It cannot be used as a standalone subscription without an Enterprise bundle on the same device.
How is ILMPS different from standard FortiGuard Antivirus?
Standard FortiGuard Antivirus (included in UTP and Enterprise bundles) uses signature-based detection updated by Fortinet’s threat research team. ILMPS adds AI and machine learning-powered inline detection on top of signatures, enabling identification of novel malware variants and zero-day threats that do not yet have signatures. ILMPS is additive to, not a replacement for, standard AV.
Is this service available on the FortiGate 201E?
Yes. FC-10-00208-577-02-12 is the FortiGate 201E ILMPS 1-Year subscription. The FortiGate 201E is a legacy (End-of-Sale) platform; Fortinet continues to provide security subscriptions for active E-Series deployments. Check with DataCenter360.ca for the latest availability on this service for legacy models.
How is this license delivered?
FC-10-00208-577-02-12 is an electronic Fortinet subscription license delivered via email within 0–1 business days worldwide. DataCenter360.ca is an Authorized Fortinet Partner. The license is activated through your Fortinet Support portal and requires an active Enterprise bundle on the same FortiGate 201E to enable the service.
What if I do not have an Enterprise bundle—what are my options?
If the FortiGate 201E does not have an Enterprise (809) bundle, the UTP (950) bundle is the next tier and provides comprehensive security services including IPS, AV, and web filtering. The Enterprise bundle adds CASB and ILMPS on top. DataCenter360.ca stocks the UTP 1-Year (FC-10-00208-950-02-12) and Enterprise 1-Year (FC-10-00208-809-02-12) bundles—contact us for pricing.
