Fortinet FortiGate 50G-SFP-PoE Advanced Malware Protection, 1-Year (FC-10-F50GP-100-02-12)

File-based threats remain one of the most consistent attack vectors across every network segment. The FortiGate 50G-SFP-PoE 1-Year Advanced Malware Protection subscription (FC-10-F50GP-100-02-12) adds FortiGuard’s multilayer malware defense to a FortiGate 50G-SFP-PoE for twelve months. It covers known malware, mobile threats, zero-day outbreak detection, AI-based behavioral analysis, and cloud sandbox inspection, all operating from the same appliance already handling perimeter traffic. License only, no hardware, delivered electronically to any country.

What Advanced Malware Protection activates

This subscription enables several complementary malware detection layers that run in the FortiGate’s inspection pipeline:

• Antivirus (AV): FortiGuard AV signatures update continuously and cover known malware patterns across common file types and protocols. The FortiGate scans files in transit and blocks confirmed threats in real time.
• Mobile Malware Detection: Extends AV inspection to mobile threat signatures, detecting malware targeting Android and iOS devices that passes through the network perimeter.
• Virus Outbreak Protection: Queries FortiGuard Global Threat Intelligence servers for malware hash signatures in real time, catching zero-day variants during the window before local signature updates arrive.
• AI-Based Heuristic AV: A machine learning-driven engine analyzes file behavior and structural characteristics to identify unknown malware that does not yet have a signature match, providing coverage against novel threats.
• FortiGate Cloud Sandbox: Submits suspicious files to a cloud-based analysis environment where they are executed and observed. Behavioral analysis and ML-based verdict return within seconds; files confirmed malicious are blocked before delivery.
• Botnet Domains: Static domain-based detection blocks lookups to known malicious botnet domains, preventing infected devices from reaching command-and-control infrastructure.

Who needs the standalone AMP service

This service fits when a FortiGate 50G-SFP-PoE is already deployed with an IPS or filtering subscription in place and AMP is the specific missing layer, or when a particular compliance or insurance requirement calls for documented antivirus and sandbox coverage at the network perimeter. If the FortiGate 50G-SFP-PoE has no active security subscriptions yet, the UTP subscription bundle (FC-10-F50GP-950-02-12) includes AMP alongside IPS, URL/DNS filtering, and FortiCare Premium and is typically the more efficient entry point.

Standalone AMP vs. the subscription bundles

Advanced Malware Protection is included in the ATP, UTP, and Enterprise subscription bundles. Buying this standalone service activates the malware protection layer only. The table below shows what each bundle tier adds on top of what this service provides:

If the goal is comprehensive coverage for the FortiGate 50G-SFP-PoE, the UTP subscription (FC-10-F50GP-950-02-12) or Enterprise subscription (FC-10-F50GP-809-02-12) delivers AMP as part of a broader security stack and is worth comparing against this standalone license.

Activation and delivery

After purchase, the license is issued electronically and registered to the FortiGate 50G-SFP-PoE serial number through the Fortinet support portal. AV signature updates, outbreak protection queries, and cloud sandbox entitlement activate for the full 12-month term. No hardware ships. A registered FortiGate 50G-SFP-PoE is required before applying the license.
