Fortinet FortiGate 3000F FortiGuard AI-based Inline Malware Prevention, 1-Year (FC-10-F3K0F-577-02-12)

High-volume datacenter firewalls like the FortiGate 3000F process millions of files across the network every hour. Standard antivirus catches known threats — but unknown malware and zero-day files need a different layer. The FortiGuard AI-based Inline Malware Prevention Service (ILMPS) is that layer: sitting inline in the traffic path, it analyzes files in real time and delivers a verdict in under a second, blocking unknown threats before they reach their destination.

What the service covers

FC-10-F3K0F-577-02-12 activates one year of FortiGuard ILMPS on the FortiGate 3000F. The service performs in-path analysis of files traversing the firewall, including across encrypted sessions, and blocks files that exhibit unknown or zero-day threat behavior. Core capabilities include:

• Inline analysis of unknown files — the file is held, not passed through, while the verdict is returned
• Sub-second verdicts backed by FortiGuard Labs’ global threat intelligence
• MITRE ATT&CK matrix integration to accelerate post-incident investigation and cut analyst workload
• Protection against previously unseen malware that signature-based AV cannot detect

Unlike cloud sandbox approaches, which release files asynchronously while waiting for a result, ILMPS holds the file inline for up to 50 seconds and only releases it once the verdict is confirmed clean.

Who needs this service

Organizations running the FortiGate 3000F with a UTP or ATP bundle already have cloud sandbox for zero-day detection, but that is an async process — files may pass through before the verdict arrives. For security teams where blocking latency matters, or where compliance frameworks require that no unknown file is released unverified, ILMPS closes that gap. The primary buyers are security architects deploying the 3000F in datacenter perimeter roles, financial environments, and regulated industries where file-transfer integrity is a hard requirement.

Activation and delivery

This is a software entitlement delivered electronically. After purchase, DataCenter360.ca processes the order and delivers the license key by email within 0-1 business days. The key is entered through the FortiGate management console or via FortiManager to activate ILMPS immediately on the 3000F. No hardware shipment, no installation window.

This service versus the Enterprise bundle

ILMPS is included in the FortiGuard Enterprise Protection bundle. Purchasing it à la carte makes sense when the FortiGate 3000F already has a UTP or ATP bundle and you need to add inline zero-day blocking on top. If the 3000F has no security bundle at all, the Enterprise bundle provides ILMPS plus the full FortiGuard stack and is often the better value. The table below shows where ILMPS sits across the three bundle tiers.
