Fortinet FortiGate 81F FortiGuard AI-based Inline Malware Prevention, 1-Year (FC-10-0081F-577-02-12)

Most firewall threats arrive in files — a malicious PDF, an executable hidden in a ZIP, a script buried in a document download. Standard AV catches known signatures; FortiGuard AI-based Inline Malware Prevention (ILMPS) goes further by using machine-learning models to analyze file structure and behavior in real time, blocking zero-day malware that has no prior signature on record. This 1-year subscription (FC-10-0081F-577-02-12) activates that capability on your FortiGate 81F.

What This Service Does

ILMPS extends the FortiGate 81F’s Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) engine with AI-driven file-behavior analysis. When a file transits the firewall — email attachment, HTTP download, FTP transfer — ILMPS evaluates it against Fortinet’s continuously updated machine-learning models trained on billions of real-world malware samples. Files that match threat patterns are blocked inline before reaching the endpoint, not after the fact.

Where It Fits in the FortiGuard Stack

ILMPS is an Enterprise-tier capability — it is included in the FortiGate 81F Enterprise bundle (809) but not in the UTP or ATP bundles.

Who Benefits Most

Organizations handling client files (accounting, legal, healthcare, engineering) or operating in regulated environments where zero-day file threats represent a meaningful risk will find ILMPS worth adding. If you already run UTP and are seeing file-based threat warnings in your logs, ILMPS adds the AI layer that standard AV misses.

Activation and Delivery

ILMPS is a software license delivered electronically, typically within one business day. DataCenter360.ca sends the activation key by email; you register it in the Fortinet support portal and apply it to your 81F via the management console. No hardware ships. The 12-month term begins on the activation date.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

As a Fortinet Select Partner, DataCenter360.ca carries the full FortiGate 81F license catalog. If you are considering ILMPS as a standalone add-on, it may be worth comparing the cost against upgrading to the full Enterprise bundle, which includes ILMPS plus the complete FortiGuard stack. We can quote both options — contact us before ordering if you would like a side-by-side price comparison.
