Fortinet FortiGate 50G-5G AI-Based Inline Malware Prevention, 1-Year (FC-10-F50G5-577-02-12)

Signatures catch the malware that has already been seen. The sample no scanner recognizes yet is the harder problem, and it is the one attackers count on. The FortiGate 50G-5G 1-Year AI-Based Inline Malware Prevention Service (FC-10-F50G5-577-02-12) takes on that case for a FortiGate 50G-5G: machine-learning models inspect files as they pass through and return a verdict in a fraction of a second, blocking unknown and zero-day malware inline before it lands. It is a subscription license only, with no hardware and electronic delivery worldwide.

What this service adds

Inline Malware Prevention stretches the 50G-5G’s anti-malware coverage from known threats to first-seen ones, without waiting on a full sandbox cycle:

• Real-time inline verdicts: files are judged as they cross the firewall, and malicious ones are dropped on the spot instead of flagged after delivery.
• AI and machine-learning detection: models trained by FortiGuard Labs recognize the traits of malware they have never encountered, including freshly built variants.
• Zero-day and unknown-file focus: the service targets the exact category traditional signatures miss, the sample with no known hash yet.
• Sub-second decisions: verdicts return fast enough to keep inline blocking practical on a live link, so protection does not slow the connection.

Who needs the standalone service

This line item makes sense when a 50G-5G is otherwise covered but you want to add inline AI prevention without stepping up to a full bundle, or when you are matching a specific compliance requirement for real-time malware blocking. If you are building protection from scratch, compare it against the bundles below before buying the service on its own.

This single line versus the bundles

AI-Based Inline Malware Prevention is one of the FortiGuard services that only the Enterprise bundle includes. The table shows where this service sits against the ATP and UTP packages, so you can see whether buying it alone or moving to a bundle is the better value for the 50G-5G:

If you find yourself wanting URL filtering, anti-spam, or OT security on top of inline malware prevention, the UTP and Enterprise bundles fold several of these services into one SKU and usually cost less than buying them piece by piece.

Activation and delivery

The entitlement is issued electronically and registered to the FortiGate 50G-5G by serial number. Inline prevention activates once the service is applied to the device’s profiles, the twelve-month term runs from activation, and nothing ships. The feature runs on the appliance using FortiGuard’s cloud-trained models.
