Fortinet FortiGate 71G AI-Based Inline Malware Prevention, 1-Year (FC-10-GT71G-577-02-12)

Standard AV and sandbox detection catch most threats — but they rely on known signatures and detonation cycles that take time. The FortiGuard AI-based Inline Malware Prevention subscription (FC-10-GT71G-577-02-12) adds a different layer: real-time ML-powered file inspection that evaluates content at line rate without holding traffic for cloud sandbox analysis. On the FortiGate 71G, this runs as part of the Enterprise bundle tier.

What Inline Malware Prevention Does

ILMPS (Inline Malware Prevention Service) uses AI and machine learning models trained on Fortinet’s global threat intelligence to inspect file transfers in transit — HTTP downloads, email attachments, file sharing — and block malicious content before it reaches the endpoint. Key characteristics:

• Real-time inspection with no hold-and-scan latency — traffic continues while analysis runs at wire speed
• ML models updated by FortiGuard labs, covering evasive and polymorphic malware patterns
• Complements FortiSandbox Cloud (which uses offline detonation) by catching threats inline before submission
• Operates on decrypted SSL/TLS traffic when SSL inspection is enabled on the FortiGate 71G

ILMPS Is an Enterprise-Only Service

Inline Malware Prevention is not included in the ATP or UTP FortiGuard bundles for the FortiGate 71G. It is exclusively part of the Enterprise bundle tier. The table below shows where ILMPS sits relative to the other subscription options:

Standalone vs. Enterprise Bundle

FC-10-GT71G-577-02-12 is the à-la-carte version of this service. If you’re already considering an Enterprise bundle (FC-10-GT71G-809-02-12) for the full FortiGuard security stack, the bundle is typically the more efficient path — it includes ILMPS plus IPS, web filtering, anti-malware, SOCaaS, and industrial security in one SKU. The standalone 577 license makes sense when you have an existing bundle on a different tier and specifically need to add ILMPS without changing the full bundle structure.
