Fortinet FortiGate 50G Advanced Malware Protection, 1-Year (FC-10-GT50G-100-02-12)

Antivirus alone hasn’t covered the full threat picture for a while. The FC-10-GT50G-100-02-12 activates the Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) service on a FortiGate 50G, which goes beyond traditional signature scanning to include mobile malware detection, AI/ML-based heuristics, virus outbreak protection, content disarm and reconstruct (CDR), and cloud sandbox detonation via FortiGate Cloud. Together these layers catch known malware, evasive files, and novel threats that static signatures miss.

What AMP Covers on the FortiGate 50G

The AMP service runs in-line on the FortiGate 50G’s FortiSP5 security processor, inspecting files and content flows at the gateway. The main components are: traditional antivirus (AV) with continuously updated FortiGuard signatures, botnet domain blocking, mobile malware scanning for BYOD environments, AI-based heuristic detection for unknown variants, virus outbreak protection for zero-hour response, content disarm and reconstruct which strips active content from documents before forwarding, and FortiGate Cloud Sandbox for behavior-based detonation of suspicious files. These layers work in sequence, with cloud sandbox catching files that local detection passes.

How AMP Fits the Bundle Tiers

Advanced Malware Protection is part of all three FortiGuard bundle tiers for the FortiGate 50G. Purchasing it as a standalone service is the right call when you’re licensing services individually, or when you want to renew AMP separately from other subscriptions. If your team is evaluating total coverage, note that the UTP bundle adds URL filtering, anti-spam, and anti-botnet on top of AMP and IPS, while the Enterprise bundle further adds DLP, IoT detection, and inline malware prevention.

Who Typically Buys This

FC-10-GT50G-100-02-12 suits IT teams who have already licensed IPS or URL filtering independently and want to add the AMP layer as a separate renewal. It also fits branch offices where a FortiGate 50G is the primary gateway and the main concern is file-borne malware rather than web content filtering. Retailers, small offices, and remote sites connecting back to a central FortiGate cluster often start here before expanding to a UTP or Enterprise bundle.

Activation and Delivery

This is a virtual subscription with no physical components. After placing your order, DataCenter360.ca emails the license key within 0 to 1 business days. You enter it under System / FortiGuard in the FortiGate web UI, confirm the service activates, and you’re done. The 12-month term begins on the activation date, not the purchase date, so you have flexibility in timing your deployment.
