Fortinet FortiGate 71G-PoE Advanced Malware Protection, 1-Year (FC-10-G71GP-100-02-12)

Most branch offices run the FortiGate 71G-PoE with its base firewall capabilities and upgrade services over time. The FC-10-G71GP-100-02-12 covers the first piece many organizations add: anti-virus and cloud sandbox analysis through FortiGuard Advanced Malware Protection. It runs entirely on the existing hardware and takes effect within hours of activation, without any re-deployment.

What Advanced Malware Protection Covers

AMP on the FortiGate 71G-PoE activates three FortiGuard layers that work together. Anti-virus catches known malware at the network edge using frequently updated signatures. Mobile malware detection extends coverage to devices connecting from Android and iOS endpoints. FortiGate Cloud Sandbox submits suspicious files to an isolated cloud environment, detonates them, and reports back — stopping threats that signature databases haven’t caught yet. All three run inline without requiring a separate appliance or cloud connector beyond what the FortiGate already manages.

Who Buys This Service

IT teams protecting branch offices or small campuses with a FortiGate 71G-PoE already installed. It’s also a common first subscription for organizations moving off basic firewall-only mode who want malware coverage before committing to a full bundle. Compliance teams in regulated industries often cite AMP as a required control under frameworks like NIST and ISO 27001, and this SKU satisfies that requirement for a one-year term at a lower cost than renewing a full bundle.

Activation and Delivery

Licenses are delivered electronically to the email address on the order. Once you apply the license key in the FortiGate management interface under License > FortiGuard, the services activate against Fortinet’s FortiGuard distribution network. No hardware needs to be shipped. Delivery typically occurs within one business day of payment confirmation.

AMP Alone vs. a Bundle

AMP is included in both the UTP and Enterprise bundles for the FortiGate 71G-PoE. If your firewall already has AMP active through a bundle, you don’t need this SKU. But if you’re only running the base firewall or adding one service at a time, this standalone subscription is the right option. When you’re ready to expand coverage, the UTP bundle adds URL and DNS filtering on top of what AMP provides.
