Fortinet FortiGate 2600F DC FortiGuard AI-based Inline Malware Prevention, 1-Year (FC-10-FD26F-577-02-12)

Traffic flowing through a FortiGate 2600F-DC at data-center speeds can carry threats that standard antivirus signatures have never seen. The FortiGate 2600F-DC AI-based Inline Malware Prevention Service (FC-10-FD26F-577-02-12) addresses that gap directly: it feeds every file through a machine-learning engine operating inline, at line rate, and issues a verdict in sub-second time — no cloud round-trip holding up the packet stream.

What AI-based Inline Malware Prevention Covers

ILMPS (service code 577) is a standalone FortiGuard subscription that adds real-time, inline ML-based file inspection to the FortiGate 2600F-DC. Unlike cloud-sandbox services that hold a file in a queue for analysis, ILMPS makes its determination while the file is still in transit. Key capabilities:

• Inline ML file inspection covering executables, documents, archives, and other common file vectors
• Sub-second verdicts — traffic is not held pending an off-box lookup
• Zero-day and unknown-malware blocking without relying on a prior signature match
• MITRE ATT&CK matrix tagging on detected threats, which compresses investigation time after an alert fires
• Complements, does not replace, FortiGate’s existing AV and IPS engines — all three run simultaneously

Who Runs This Service

ILMPS at the 2600F-DC tier fits environments pushing serious throughput through a FortiGate already carrying a data-center or campus-edge workload. The 2600F-DC delivers 198 Gbps firewall throughput, 31 Gbps IPS throughput, and 25 Gbps threat-protection throughput in a 2 RU chassis built for DC power plants. Typical buyers for this service:

• Data-center operators running the 2600F-DC on a DC power bus who need threat inspection without a latency penalty
• Service providers and enterprise teams that process large file volumes and cannot absorb sandbox-queue delays during peak windows
• Security architects adding a zero-day ML layer on top of an existing ATP or UTP subscription, since ILMPS is not included in either of those tiers
• Compliance-driven organizations that need to demonstrate ML-based malware controls as a distinct, auditable service line

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-FD26F-577-02-12 is a twelve-month electronic license. After your order is confirmed, DataCenter360.ca delivers the activation key by email — no hardware ships. Registration takes place in the FortiCare support portal, which ties the subscription to the 2600F-DC serial number. The service activates on the date of registration and runs for 365 days from that point.

This Service Versus the Full Enterprise Bundle

ILMPS is available as a standalone purchase (this SKU) or as part of the FortiGate Enterprise Protection bundle. ATP and UTP bundles include cloud-based sandbox for zero-day detection, but inline ML file inspection is an Enterprise-only feature. The table below shows where ILMPS sits across the three bundle tiers:

Purchasing ILMPS standalone makes practical sense when you have ATP or UTP already active and want to layer inline ML inspection on top without upgrading the entire bundle for the 2600F-DC.
