Fortinet FortiGate-VM02 UTP Bundle Renewal Subscription, 1-Year (FC-10-FVM02-963-02-12)

A FortiGate VM02 positioned as the internet perimeter gateway for a virtualized environment needs more than pure threat detection. FC-10-FVM02-963-02-12 renews Unified Threat Protection (svc 963) for 1 year, adding URL Filtering, DNS Filtering, Video Filtering, and Antispam Service on top of the IPS, Advanced Malware Protection, and Application Control in the ATP tier. The VM02’s two vCPUs provide the headroom to run all six inspection services concurrently without hitting the throughput ceiling a single-vCPU VM01 would encounter.

What it covers

FC-10-FVM02-963-02-12 activates eight FortiGuard services on the FortiGate VM02:

• IPS blocks exploit attempts and vulnerability-based attacks using signature and behavioral detection.
• Advanced Malware Protection connects to FortiGuard’s cloud sandbox to analyze unknown files and check file reputation in real time.
• Application Control classifies and enforces policy on over 5,000 application signatures, blocking high-risk protocols and unauthorized cloud applications.
• URL Filtering checks HTTP and HTTPS requests against FortiGuard’s web category database, blocking access to malicious or policy-violating sites.
• DNS Filtering intercepts DNS queries resolving to threat-classified domains before a TCP connection is established, stopping malware callbacks and command-and-control traffic at the DNS layer.
• Video Filtering controls access to streaming video platforms by category to enforce acceptable-use policy.
• Antispam Service filters inbound SMTP for spam, phishing, and malicious attachments using FortiGuard reputation and content databases.
• FortiCare Premium provides 24×7 TAC support and firmware updates for the subscription term.

Who needs it

UTP is the standard renewal tier for VM02 instances acting as internet perimeter gateways, where outbound web traffic and inbound email routing both pass through the virtual firewall. Organizations handling user HTTP/HTTPS browsing through the VM02 need URL and DNS filtering active; those routing SMTP need Antispam. UTP covers both requirements. It is also the most common upgrade path from ATP for teams whose VM02 has moved from internal segmentation to full perimeter duty. Teams that additionally need cloud access control or data governance should consider the Enterprise Protection bundle.

Activation & delivery

FC-10-FVM02-963-02-12 is delivered electronically worldwide. After purchase, Fortinet issues an activation token to the order email address.

No hardware is shipped, and there is no geographic restriction on this electronic license.

One service vs the bundle

Renewing IPS, Advanced Malware Protection, Application Control, URL Filtering, DNS Filtering, Video Filtering, and Antispam individually creates seven separate renewal events per year. The UTP bundle consolidates them into one SKU and one expiry date. UTP sits between ATP and Enterprise Protection in the VM02 bundle stack. The ATP tier (svc 929) omits URL, DNS, Video Filtering, and Antispam. The Enterprise Protection tier (svc 812) adds AI-based Inline Malware Prevention, Inline CASB Database, DLP, Attack Surface Security Service, and FortiConverter Service on top of the UTP service set.
