Fortinet FortiGate 2500E Advanced Malware Protection (AMP), 1-Year (FC-10-02K5E-100-02-12)

A FortiGate 2500E already carrying IPS or a support contract still needs a file-inspection layer to catch what signature-based rules miss. The FortiGate 2500E 1-Year Advanced Malware Protection subscription (FC-10-02K5E-100-02-12) is that layer: antivirus, mobile malware detection, and FortiGate Cloud Sandbox scanning, licensed to the appliance for twelve months. No hardware ships with this order; it activates on a 2500E you already own or are sourcing separately, and delivery is electronic worldwide.

What Advanced Malware Protection covers

AMP bundles several FortiGuard file-security services under one license, all active for the term:

• Antivirus (AV): signature and engine updates from FortiGuard Labs, applied inline as traffic crosses the FortiGate 2500E, catching known virus and malware patterns as they appear.
• Mobile Malware: signature and behavioral detection aimed at threats targeting phones and tablets moving through the network, extending AV coverage beyond desktop file formats.
• FortiGate Cloud Sandbox: suspicious files get submitted to a cloud sandbox for behavioral analysis, catching unknown or evasive samples that static signatures alone would pass.
• AI-based Heuristic AV: machine-learning detection layered on top of signature matching, flagging file behavior consistent with malware even without a known signature yet.

Together these give the 2500E file-content inspection comparable to what ships inside the ATP, UTP, and Enterprise bundles, without licensing the rest of those bundles’ scope.

Who buys the standalone AMP license

This fits a 2500E deployment that already has IPS, web filtering, or FortiCare support in place through separate licenses and just needs the malware-inspection piece filled in. It is also the practical choice when replacing an expired AMP term without touching the rest of the appliance’s licensing. If the 2500E has no active FortiGuard coverage at all yet, a bundle covers more ground per dollar than stacking individual services.

Standalone AMP vs. the subscription bundles

Advanced Malware Protection is included in the ATP, UTP, and Enterprise subscription bundles for the FortiGate 2500E; none of the three ships without it. Buying this license alone delivers only the AMP layer. The table below shows where AMP sits relative to what each bundle tier adds:

Moving the 2500E to full coverage instead of adding services one at a time works through the UTP subscription (FC-10-02K5E-950-02-12) or the Enterprise subscription (FC-10-02K5E-809-02-12), each including AMP as part of a wider package.

Activation and delivery

The license ties to the FortiGate 2500E by serial number and activates electronically; nothing physical ships on this order. Once applied, AMP signature and sandbox connectivity stay current through FortiGuard for the full 12-month term. A registered FortiGate 2500E is required before the license can be activated.
