Fortinet FortiGate 40F-3G4G ATP Subscription, 5-Year (FC-10-F40FG-928-02-60)

Locking in five years of FortiGuard Advanced Threat Protection on the FortiGate 40F-3G4G removes the annual renewal cycle from your IT calendar. ATP delivers the four services most branch deployments actually use: IPS with AI-driven signature updates, multi-layer anti-malware (antivirus, cloud sandbox, CDR), URL and DNS filtering across 300 million categorized domains, and Application Control for visibility into what’s crossing the wire. Buying at the five-year term saves meaningfully over stacking five one-year renewals, and it keeps protection continuous without gaps between billing periods.

What ATP Activates on the FortiGate 40F-3G4G

Once this license is applied, FortiOS on the 40F-3G4G pulls live signature updates from FortiGuard Labs around the clock. IPS blocks known exploits and applies virtual patches for newly disclosed CVEs before your vendor ships an update. The anti-malware layer combines traditional AV signatures with real-time cloud sandbox verdicts and Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) to strip active content from documents before they reach end users. URL filtering covers web access, and DNS filtering intercepts C2 callbacks and malicious domain lookups at the query level — both run in hardware-accelerated inspection.

ATP vs. UTP vs. Enterprise Protection

Choosing the right tier starts with an honest assessment of what your site actually needs. The table below maps each FortiGuard service bundle so you can see exactly where ATP ends and the higher tiers add coverage.

Who Buys This License

ATP at the 5-year term fits branch offices where the primary concern is blocking network-based attacks and malicious web traffic. Retail locations, small medical offices, and professional services firms with a single site frequently run the 40F-3G4G on ATP because the four core services cover the realistic threat surface for that environment. Organizations under compliance mandates requiring DLP or CASB controls should look at UTP or Enterprise Protection instead.

Activation and Delivery

This is a FortiGuard subscription delivered electronically. After your order is confirmed, you receive a license registration code by email, typically within the same business day. You register it in the FortiCare support portal at support.fortinet.com, tie it to your 40F-3G4G serial number, and FortiOS activates the services immediately. No hardware ships with this SKU.

Terms and Renewal

The 5-year term runs continuously from the activation date. Fortinet sends renewal reminders before expiry, and you can renew with another multi-year term or switch tiers at that point. If your compliance posture changes during the term and you need DLP or inline sandbox, upgrading to UTP or Enterprise is possible mid-term through Fortinet’s license upgrade program — contact your account manager to price the delta.
