Fortinet FortiGate 51G-SFP-PoE Advanced Malware Protection (AMP), 1-Year (FC-10-F51GP-100-02-12)

File-level threats — malware hidden in attachments, drive-by downloads, mobile malware from guest devices — can pass through a firewall that has not activated real-time scanning. The FortiGate 51G-SFP-PoE Advanced Malware Protection service (FC-10-F51GP-100-02-12) closes that gap: it turns on a complete AMP stack for twelve months, giving the device antivirus, cloud-assisted sandbox detonation, AI-driven heuristic detection, and mobile malware coverage without purchasing a full security bundle.

What Advanced Malware Protection Covers

This subscription activates the following on your FortiGate 51G-SFP-PoE:

• Antivirus (AV): Signature-based scanning of HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, POP3, FTP, and other protocols in real time.
• Mobile Malware Detection: Identifies malicious APKs and other mobile-targeted payloads traversing the network.
• FortiGate Cloud Sandbox: Unknown files are detonated in an isolated cloud environment; verdicts return within seconds so the device can block or allow at the perimeter.
• Botnet Domains: Blocks communication to known botnet command-and-control endpoints.
• Virus Outbreak Protection: Rapid hash-matching against the FortiGuard outbreak feed fills the gap between full-signature releases.
• Content Disarm and Reconstruct (CDR): Strips active content from documents and PDFs before delivery, neutralizing zero-day exploits in common file types.
• AI-based Heuristic AV: FortiGuard’s ML engine flags behaviorally suspicious files not yet in the signature database.

Who Uses This Service

AMP is suited for FortiGate 51G-SFP-PoE deployments where the priority is targeted file-inspection coverage. Typical buyers are small offices or branch locations that need a standalone malware-scanning layer, or IT teams evaluating the AMP component before committing to a bundle upgrade. If you also need URL filtering, DNS security, or anti-spam on the same device, the UTP subscription bundle adds those on top of AMP at a lower per-service cost than buying each individually.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-F51GP-100-02-12 is a subscription license with no hardware component. After purchase, DataCenter360.ca delivers the activation key electronically within 0–1 business days. Log into the FortiGate web interface or CLI, navigate to System > FortiGuard, and enter the key. The FortiGate pulls AMP feed updates automatically once activated.

AMP as a Single Service vs. a FortiGuard Bundle

Buying AMP alone makes sense when you want targeted file-scanning coverage. If your team’s requirements have grown to include web filtering, DNS protection, and data loss prevention as well, a subscription bundle is typically more cost-effective than adding individual services one at a time. The table below shows which services each bundle tier includes for the FortiGate 51G-SFP-PoE.
