A FortiGate-VM01 deployed as the primary internet gateway for a small virtual environment needs both threat detection and content filtering to protect the users on that network. FC-10-FVM01-963-02-12 renews seven security services for one year, extending full UTP coverage through a single annual subscription without requiring separate URL, DNS, or antispam renewal SKUs.
What it covers
Renewing FC-10-FVM01-963-02-12 activates the following FortiGuard services on your FortiGate-VM01:
- IPS – FortiGuard signature-based blocking of network exploits and vulnerability probes
- Advanced Malware Protection Service – file and URL sandboxing and behavioral analysis of suspicious content
- Application Control – policy enforcement across thousands of identified applications by category or name
- URL Filtering – blocks malicious, phishing, and policy-violating web destinations by content category
- DNS Filtering – intercepts DNS lookups to malicious or restricted domains before connections are established
- Video Filtering – controls access to streaming video platforms and channels by category
- Antispam Service – FortiGuard-powered filtering of spam, phishing, and unsolicited bulk email
- FortiCare Premium – 24×7 TAC access, signature and software updates, and firmware upgrade rights for the full 1-year term
Compared to the ATP bundle (FC-10-FVM01-929-02-12), this UTP tier adds URL Filtering, DNS Filtering, Video Filtering, and Antispam Service. Compared to the Enterprise Protection tier (FC-10-FVM01-812-02-12), it does not include DLP, Inline CASB Database, AI-based Inline Malware Prevention, Attack Surface Security, or FortiConverter Service.
Who needs it
- Small-to-medium virtual environments where the FortiGate-VM01 is the primary internet gateway and all user web traffic passes through it
- Organizations that need FortiGuard web and DNS filtering enforced at the firewall rather than relying solely on endpoint-level controls
- Teams that want antispam filtering handled at the network perimeter without deploying a separate email security appliance
- Virtual lab or branch environments running on Hyper-V or KVM where users need internet access policed by URL and DNS category rules

One service vs the bundle
Separately renewing IPS, AMP, Application Control, URL Filtering, DNS Filtering, Video Filtering, and Antispam as individual VM01 SKUs means managing seven expiration dates and seven purchase approvals each year. FC-10-FVM01-963-02-12 consolidates all seven into one renewal date and adds FortiCare Premium, which is not available as a standalone service subscription for the VM01. One renewal covers every service in the UTP stack.

Frequently asked questions
What distinguishes the UTP bundle from the ATP bundle for the FortiGate-VM01?
The UTP bundle (FC-10-FVM01-963-02-12) adds URL Filtering, DNS Filtering, Video Filtering, and Antispam Service on top of what the ATP bundle (FC-10-FVM01-929-02-12) provides. The ATP bundle covers IPS, Advanced Malware Protection, and Application Control only. Choose UTP when the VM01 is handling end-user internet traffic and you want content filtering and email spam protection at the network perimeter.
Does URL Filtering in the UTP bundle apply to HTTPS traffic?
FortiGuard URL Filtering applies to both HTTP and HTTPS traffic. Full URL-level visibility on HTTPS requires SSL/TLS deep inspection to be enabled on the FortiGate-VM01. With deep inspection disabled, filtering operates at the domain level using the SNI field from the TLS handshake.
Is FortiCare Premium support included in the UTP bundle?
Yes. FortiCare Premium is part of FC-10-FVM01-963-02-12 and provides 24×7 TAC support, FortiGuard signature updates, software patches, and firmware upgrade rights for the FortiGate-VM01 throughout the 1-year term.
Does the UTP bundle include DLP or Inline CASB?
No. Data Loss Prevention and Inline CASB Database are exclusive to the Enterprise Protection Bundle (FC-10-FVM01-812-02-12). If your organization needs to enforce data-exfiltration controls or manage cloud application access, the Enterprise Protection tier is the applicable renewal SKU for the VM01.
Can FC-10-FVM01-963-02-12 be applied to a FortiGate-VM01 running on a public cloud?
Yes. The FortiGate-VM01 is supported on VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, KVM, Xen, AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI. This renewal applies to any VM01 deployment regardless of the underlying hypervisor or cloud platform.
