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

Ransomware and mobile malware are hitting distributed sites harder than ever, and not every FortiGate 81F deployment needs a full security stack from day one. The FC-10-0081F-100-02-12 is a standalone Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) subscription that gives your 81F antivirus, mobile malware scanning, cloud sandbox verdicts, and AI-based heuristic detection for one year. No hardware included; delivered electronically the same business day you order.

What AMP Covers on the FortiGate 81F

When this subscription is active, the following FortiGuard capabilities are enabled on the 81F:

• Antivirus (AV) — real-time file and download scanning using Fortinet’s continuously updated signature database.
• Mobile Malware — detects threats targeting Android and iOS devices as they traverse the firewall.
• FortiGate Cloud Sandbox — suspicious files are submitted to a cloud-hosted sandbox for detonation; the verdict returns before the file reaches the endpoint.
• AI-based Heuristic AV — catches novel malware families that evade signature-only tools by analyzing behavioral patterns at the time of execution.
• Virus Outbreak Protection — threat intelligence updates distributed within minutes of a new outbreak, before full signature coverage is published globally.

Who Uses This Service

AMP is the first FortiGuard license many FortiGate 81F owners add when a hardware-only unit needs immediate malware coverage. Common scenarios: a branch office that ships a bare firewall on a tight budget, a security team that prefers granular licensing over a bundle, or an IT shop that already has web filtering and anti-spam from another provider and just needs to close the file-scanning gap. Environments with frequent file uploads — retail, healthcare, professional services — often prioritize AMP early because infected uploads are one of the fastest malware vectors on managed networks.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-0081F-100-02-12 is an electronic license. DataCenter360.ca delivers the registration code by email, typically within the same business day. Activation is done through the FortiGate 81F web GUI under System > FortiGuard, or via CLI with execute update-now. No hardware ships; no courier wait. Coverage starts as soon as the key is applied to the registered unit’s serial number on the Fortinet Support Portal.

One Service vs. the FortiGuard Bundles

AMP appears in every FortiGuard bundle — ATP, UTP, and Enterprise. If you plan to activate two or more FortiGuard services within the same term, a bundle is almost always more cost-effective per service. The table below shows the full bundle picture:

If you’re already paying for standalone IPS (FC-10-0081F-108-02-12) and URL/DNS filtering (FC-10-0081F-112-02-12) alongside this AMP license, compare the combined cost against the FortiGate 81F UTP subscription (FC-10-0081F-950-02-12). UTP covers all three services plus Anti-Spam and FortiCare Premium, often at a lower combined price than three individual licenses.
