Fortinet FortiGate 30G AI-Based Inline Malware Prevention, 1-Year (FC-10-FG30G-577-02-12)

Signature-based scanning catches what it already knows. The harder problem is the file that has never been seen before. The FortiGate 30G 1-Year AI-Based Inline Malware Prevention Service (FC-10-FG30G-577-02-12) addresses that gap on a FortiGate 30G, using machine-learning models that inspect files inline and return a verdict in well under a second, blocking unknown and zero-day malware in real time before it reaches the endpoint. It is a subscription license only, with no hardware and electronic delivery worldwide.

What this service adds

Inline Malware Prevention extends the 30G’s anti-malware coverage from known threats to unknown ones, without waiting on a sandbox detonation cycle:

• Real-time inline verdicts: files are evaluated as they pass through the firewall, and malicious ones are stopped on the spot rather than flagged after delivery.
• AI and machine-learning detection: models trained by FortiGuard Labs recognize the traits of malware they have never encountered, including newly built and emerging variants.
• Zero-day and unknown-file focus: the service targets exactly the category that traditional antivirus signatures miss, the first-seen sample that has no known hash yet.
• Sub-second decisions: verdicts arrive fast enough to keep inline blocking practical on a live link, so protection does not come at the cost of usability.

Who needs the standalone service

This license fits when inline prevention against unknown malware is the specific layer being added to a 30G that already carries other coverage, such as an active IPS or antivirus subscription and a FortiCare support contract. It is the right buy when you want to bolt real-time zero-day blocking onto an existing deployment rather than re-buying a whole bundle. If the 30G has little or no active protection yet, a bundle is the more economical starting point.

Standalone service vs. the subscription bundles

AI-Based Inline Malware Prevention is bundled only at the Enterprise tier; it is not part of the ATP or UTP packages, which rely on cloud sandboxing for unknown-threat detection instead. Buying this license adds the inline prevention layer on its own. The table below shows where this service sits and what each bundle tier includes around it:

If the goal is to put the 30G on full coverage, the Enterprise subscription (FC-10-FG30G-809-02-12) already includes this inline prevention service as part of its scope, while the UTP subscription (FC-10-FG30G-950-02-12) covers the broad web and network layers without it. This standalone license is the way to add inline prevention to a device you do not want to move onto Enterprise.

Activation and delivery

The license is issued electronically and registered to a specific FortiGate 30G by serial number. Once applied, the inline malware models and updates push to the appliance for the full twelve-month term. Nothing ships, and a valid 30G is required before activation.
