Fortinet FortiGate 81E-POE ATP Subscription, 1-Year (FC-10-0081E-928-02-12)

The ATP tier is where most FortiGate-81E-POE deployments sit when a team needs core threat detection without the full web-filtering and anti-spam overhead of UTP. FC-10-0081E-928-02-12 keeps IPS, advanced malware protection, application control, and FortiCare Premium active for one more year on your existing PoE-capable 80E-series appliance.

What ATP Activates on the FortiGate-81E-POE

The Advanced Threat Protection bundle covers the detection and control services most relevant to stopping active threats:

• IPS: Network-level intrusion prevention with FortiGuard signature updates blocking known and emerging exploits.
• Advanced Malware Protection (AMP): Cloud-assisted file inspection that catches malware not yet covered by local signatures.
• Application Control: Visibility and enforcement for applications across the network, including encrypted categories.
• FortiCare Premium: 24×7 technical support, firmware access, and advance hardware replacement.

ATP vs. UTP vs. Enterprise

ATP is the entry-level bundle. UTP adds URL/DNS/video filtering and anti-spam on top of the ATP core. Enterprise adds DLP, inline CASB, AI-based malware prevention, and attack surface management. For organisations whose primary requirement is threat detection and application control on legacy hardware, ATP provides the necessary coverage at a lower cost point.

Who Orders the ATP Subscription

Two common scenarios: smaller branch sites where web filtering is handled upstream (at a head-office FortiGate or cloud proxy) and only local IPS/AMP coverage is needed; and organisations that want to maintain active Fortinet support and signature updates on 81E-POE units while a hardware transition is planned. ATP is also the default starting point for teams evaluating coverage tiers before committing to UTP or Enterprise at renewal.

Activation & Delivery

FC-10-0081E-928-02-12 is delivered electronically. DataCenter360.ca sends the licence key and activation instructions by email within 0–1 business days of payment. Activation is done through the Fortinet Support Portal using your appliance’s serial number. The 1-year term starts on the date you activate, not the purchase date.

Terms and Renewal

Only 1-year terms are available for the FortiGate-81E-POE across all service tiers. At renewal, UTP (FC-10-0081E-950-02-12) is the natural next step for teams that want web filtering added to the coverage. For multi-year commitments or newer feature support, the FortiGate-81F (FC-10-0081F-928-02-12/36/60) offers 1-, 3-, and 5-year ATP options on current-generation hardware.
