Fortinet FortiGate 201G Advanced Malware Protection, 1-Year (FC-10-F2H1G-100-02-12)

File-based threats are often the first foothold an attacker gets on a network. The FC-10-F2H1G-100-02-12 activates the full FortiGuard Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) stack on a FortiGate 201G for one year, running every file that crosses the perimeter through multiple inspection engines before it reaches an end user. This is a standalone subscription — no hardware, no bundle, no services beyond the file-content security layer.

What Advanced Malware Protection Covers

AMP bundles several FortiGuard Labs components under one SKU, each targeting a distinct attack vector:

• Antivirus (AV): signature-based detection of known malware across HTTP, SMTP, FTP, SMB, and other common protocols.
• Mobile Malware: extends gateway AV to malicious apps and payloads targeting iOS and Android devices transiting the FortiGate.
• Botnet Domains: blocks DNS resolution of known command-and-control (C2) domains, stopping infected hosts from communicating outbound.
• Virus Outbreak Prevention: queries FortiGuard’s real-time hash database before local signatures arrive, catching zero-hour outbreaks as they emerge.
• Content Disarm and Reconstruct (CDR): strips active content (macros, scripts, embedded objects) from supported document types and delivers a clean, functional file to the recipient.
• AI-based Heuristic AV: machine-learning engine that identifies novel malware by structure and behavior, not only by known signatures.
• FortiGate Cloud Sandbox: sends suspicious files to an isolated cloud environment for behavioral analysis, catching threats that pass signature and heuristic inspection.

Who This Subscription Suits

AMP is the practical choice when the primary risk is file-borne malware rather than broad web threats or network intrusion. Organizations running the FortiGate 201G at a campus edge or distributed branch — particularly sectors with document-heavy workflows such as finance, healthcare, legal, or manufacturing — get clear value from adding AMP as a focused layer. It is also a common add-on for teams that source IPS or URL filtering through a separate tool and want gateway-level file inspection without upgrading to a full FortiGuard bundle.

Activation and Delivery

This is a software subscription with no physical component. DataCenter360.ca delivers the Fortinet license key electronically within 0–1 business days of order confirmation. Activation is done inside FortiOS under System > FortiGuard: enter the key and the appliance connects to the FortiGuard delivery network. The subscription runs for 12 months from the activation date; renewal reminders appear in the FortiGuard portal before expiry. The license is tied to the FortiGate 201G serial number and works from any location worldwide.

AMP Alone vs. a FortiGuard Bundle

Advanced Malware Protection is included in every FortiGuard subscription bundle (ATP, UTP, and Enterprise). If your 201G already runs a bundle, this SKU is not what you need. If you are running AMP standalone today and expect to add IPS, URL filtering, or application control later, it is typically more cost-efficient to move directly to a bundle than to stack individual services. The table below shows where AMP fits and what the bundles add on top of it.
