Fortinet FortiGate 81F-POE Advanced Malware Protection, 1-Year (FC-10-F81FP-100-02-12)

Ransomware, weaponized Office documents, and mobile malware routinely evade basic antivirus by using obfuscation or novel delivery paths. The FortiGate 81F-POE running AMP has several layers of defense the base firmware alone cannot provide: cloud sandbox detonation of suspicious files, CDR to strip active content from documents, and an AI-based heuristic engine that catches unknown threats by behavior rather than signature match. FC-10-F81FP-100-02-12 keeps all of those capabilities live for a full year.

What AMP Activates on the FortiGate 81F-POE

• Real-time antivirus and anti-malware signature updates from FortiGuard Labs
• AI-based heuristic engine for detecting previously unknown malware families
• Mobile malware detection for Android and iOS payloads in transit
• Botnet domain blocking and Virus Outbreak Protection
• Content Disarm and Reconstruct (CDR) to neutralize weaponized PDFs and Office files
• FortiGate Cloud Sandbox integration for detonating suspicious executables safely

Who Needs This

The FortiGate 81F-POE is a 1U rack appliance with PoE+ ports, making it common in offices with IP phones, cameras, or access points. Any environment passing file traffic through that device benefits from AMP. It is particularly useful for teams that have FortiCare coverage but have not yet added a FortiGuard security service, or for those running a phased deployment where malware protection comes before a full UTP bundle upgrade.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-F81FP-100-02-12 is a software subscription. DataCenter360.ca delivers the license key to your order email within 0–1 business days of purchase confirmation. Register it under System > FortiGuard on the FortiGate GUI or through FortiCloud. AMP signature and sandbox updates then stream automatically from FortiGuard’s distribution points throughout the 1-year term. No hardware ships and no customs clearance is needed regardless of where the appliance is deployed.

AMP Alone vs. a FortiGuard Bundle

AMP is included in all three FortiGuard bundle tiers (ATP, UTP, Enterprise). This individual subscription makes sense when your FortiGate 81F-POE already has IPS or URL filtering under a separate contract and malware protection is the missing layer. If you are starting fresh, the UTP bundle (FC-10-F81FP-950-02-12) adds URL/DNS filtering and anti-spam alongside AMP at a lower combined cost than buying each service individually:
