Fortinet FortiGate 81E-POE Advanced Malware Protection (AMP), 1-Year (FC-10-0081E-100-02-12)

Running a PoE-enabled edge firewall means you’re already powering access points and IP cameras through the device — and those endpoints are entry points too. The FortiGate 81E-POE 1-Year Advanced Malware Protection subscription (FC-10-0081E-100-02-12) layers antivirus, mobile malware detection, and cloud sandbox analysis onto your existing 81E-POE firewall, covering three of the most common threat vectors in a single license.

What Advanced Malware Protection Covers

The AMP service on the FortiGate 81E-POE activates three FortiGuard security feeds simultaneously:

• Antivirus: Signature-based detection that scans files and sessions traversing the firewall, updated continuously by FortiGuard Labs.
• Mobile Malware Protection: Catches malware targeting mobile and BYOD devices connecting through your network — relevant if employees use smartphones on the same network as corporate assets.
• FortiGate Cloud Sandbox: Unknown or suspicious files are submitted to a cloud-based sandbox environment for behavioral analysis before reaching endpoints.

These three components address signature evasion, mobile-specific threats, and zero-day behavior — areas where a basic firewall rule set alone cannot provide adequate coverage.

Who Needs This License

This subscription suits organizations already running a FortiGate 81E-POE who want to add malware protection without committing to a full bundle. It fits networks where the primary risk is malware from web browsing or email attachments, rather than networks needing full IPS or URL filtering coverage. Teams running a mixed IT/OT environment with legacy PoE devices often start here before evaluating broader bundle tiers.

Activation and Delivery

This is a software subscription. After purchase, DataCenter360.ca delivers the license key electronically — typically within the same business day. Activation is done through FortiGate’s web interface or CLI by registering the contract key against the device serial number on the Fortinet Support Portal. No hardware ships; no shipping address is required.
