Fortinet FortiGate 201F AI-Based Inline Malware Prevention (ILMPS), 1-Year (FC-10-F201F-577-02-12)

File-based threats delivered through web downloads, email attachments, and cloud application traffic continue to evolve faster than signature-based detection can keep up. FortiGuard AI-Based Inline Malware Prevention Service (FC-10-F201F-577-02-12) adds a real-time AI analysis layer to the FortiGate 201F that evaluates unknown files and code at wire speed before they reach the user — no sandbox wait time, no bypass risk from the wait. The detection model runs inline on FortiOS, using machine learning trained on Fortinet’s global threat telemetry.

What ILMPS Does

The Inline Malware Prevention Service uses AI models to classify files and scripts as malicious or benign in real time as they traverse the FortiGate 201F. Unlike cloud sandboxing, which introduces a hold-and-wait delay, ILMPS blocks at the point of entry without pausing the traffic stream. It covers threats in web traffic (HTTP/HTTPS), email (SMTP/IMAP/POP3), and file transfer protocols — the same vectors most malware campaigns use. Detection improves over time as FortiGuard updates the inline models from new campaign data.

Which Bundle Includes ILMPS

ILMPS is available as part of the FortiGate 201F Enterprise bundle (FC-10-F201F-809-02-12) but is not included in the UTP or ATP bundles. If your organization runs the Enterprise bundle, ILMPS is already covered — purchasing this standalone SKU would create a duplicate. This standalone license suits organizations already on UTP that want to add ILMPS detection without upgrading the full subscription tier.

Who Needs This

Organizations on a UTP subscription that face targeted file-based attacks — particularly those in financial services, healthcare, or manufacturing with strict malware prevention requirements — benefit from adding ILMPS. It is also appropriate for environments that download large volumes of third-party files and scripts and need AI-driven evaluation at the firewall rather than relying on endpoint detection as a fallback.
