Fortinet FortiGate 61F Advanced Malware Protection, 1-Year (FC-10-0061F-100-02-12)

File-based threats remain one of the most consistent entry points for ransomware and data theft. The FortiGate 61F 1-Year Advanced Malware Protection Service (FC-10-0061F-100-02-12) activates multi-layer malware detection on the FortiGate 61F for twelve months, covering antivirus, mobile malware, cloud sandbox analysis, and several related content inspection components. Subscription license only, delivered electronically worldwide. No hardware is included.

What this service activates

Once registered, the following FortiGuard components run on the FortiGate 61F for the full term:

• Antivirus (AV): signature-based and heuristic detection for known and variant threats. FortiGuard Labs pushes database updates continuously so the FortiGate 61F is working from current threat intelligence rather than static snapshots.
• Mobile Malware Detection: identifies malicious payloads specific to mobile platforms, covering threats that arrive through email attachments, MDM traffic, or BYOD devices routed through the firewall.
• FortiGate Cloud Sandbox: suspicious files that pass initial signature checks are submitted to the FortiGate Cloud for deep analysis. Verdicts return in near-real-time and inform inline blocking decisions.
• Virus Outbreak Protection: rapid-response signatures that bridge the gap between zero-day discovery and full database update, reducing exposure during early outbreak windows.
• Content Disarm and Reconstruct (CDR): strips active content from common file types (PDF, Office documents) and rebuilds clean versions, effective against macro-based and embedded exploit delivery.

The FortiGate 61F applies these controls at gateway level, scanning traffic as it transits the appliance regardless of the source or destination application.

Who this service is for

This standalone license fits when file-inspection is the specific gap to close on a FortiGate 61F that already carries other coverage. Common scenarios include an appliance with an active IPS subscription but no malware layer, a network where the FortiCare support contract is current but the FortiGuard security subscription has lapsed on the file side, or a deployment where budget allows only one service tier at a time. Organizations starting from scratch on a 61F typically get better value from the UTP or Enterprise bundle, which packages AMP alongside IPS, URL filtering, and FortiCare Premium at a lower combined cost than buying services individually.

Standalone AMP vs. the subscription bundles

Advanced Malware Protection is included in every FortiGuard subscription bundle tier for the FortiGate 61F. The table below shows what each bundle adds on top of what this standalone service provides:

If the goal is comprehensive protection for the FortiGate 61F, the UTP subscription (FC-10-0061F-950-02-12) or Enterprise subscription (FC-10-0061F-809-02-12) delivers a broader stack including this AMP layer.

Activation and delivery

The license is electronic, issued to a specific FortiGate 61F serial number. After purchase, register it through the Fortinet Support Portal. FortiGuard database updates flow to the appliance automatically for the full 12-month term. Nothing ships. A valid FortiGate 61F is required before activation; the subscription cannot be applied to a different model.
