Fortinet FortiWiFi 81F-2R-3G4G-POE Advanced Malware Protection, 1-Year (FC-10-W81FD-100-02-12)

Malware reaching an endpoint is expensive: incident response, downtime, possible data loss. FC-10-W81FD-100-02-12 activates FortiGuard Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) on the FortiWiFi 81F-2R-3G4G-POE for one year, combining antivirus signature scanning, mobile malware detection, and cloud sandbox analysis to catch both known and novel threats at the network perimeter.

What Advanced Malware Protection Covers

The AMP service runs three complementary detection layers on the 81F-2R-3G4G-POE:

• Antivirus signatures: FortiGuard Labs publishes signature updates multiple times daily. The FortiWiFi inspects files, downloads, and email attachments against the current database in real time.
• Mobile malware detection: Identifies malicious apps and payloads targeting Android and iOS devices passing through the network, relevant in BYOD and Wi-Fi environments where the 81F-2R serves as the access point too.
• FortiGate Cloud Sandbox: Suspicious files that do not match known signatures are sent to the FortiGuard Cloud Sandbox for behavioral analysis. Unknown executables, scripts, and documents run in an isolated environment; if they exhibit malicious behavior, the verdict is returned to the device and the file is blocked.

AMP vs FortiGuard Bundles

This subscription delivers AMP as a standalone service. The ATP, UTP, and Enterprise bundles include AMP alongside IPS, App Control, and additional services. If you anticipate needing more than one service, a bundle typically delivers better overall cost.

Who Should Use This

AMP-only licensing suits organizations that already have IPS or URL filtering sourced elsewhere and specifically need threat scanning at the network level. It is also a common choice for sites adding a secondary malware inspection layer on top of endpoint AV, treating the FortiWiFi as an inline detection point for files crossing the perimeter.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-W81FD-100-02-12 is delivered electronically within 0 to 1 business days of purchase. Register the contract at support.fortinet.com, link it to your FortiWiFi 81F-2R-3G4G-POE serial number, and AV database downloads resume. The cloud sandbox integration activates automatically once the license is registered. No reboot is required.

The term starts on registration and runs for 12 months. Plan the renewal before expiry to keep the AV database current without interruption.

One Service vs the Bundle

If your deployment also needs URL filtering or IPS, the UTP bundle (FC-10-W81FD-950-02-12) or Enterprise bundle (FC-10-W81FD-809-02-12) bundles AMP with those services under one contract, often at a lower cost than purchasing separately. Consider the full bundle before committing to a standalone AMP subscription.
