Fortinet FortiWiFi 50G Advanced Malware Protection, 1-Year (FC-10-FW50G-100-02-12)

Antivirus and malware protection are typically the first subscription layer added to any FortiGate or FortiWiFi deployment. For a FortiWiFi 50G at a small office or branch site connecting both wired and wireless clients, the FortiWiFi 50G 1-Year Advanced Malware Protection Service (FC-10-FW50G-100-02-12) covers that foundational layer: FortiGuard antivirus signatures, mobile malware detection, and cloud sandbox analysis, active for twelve months without requiring the full UTP bundle.

What Advanced Malware Protection activates

The AMP subscription adds three related protection layers to the FortiWiFi 50G for the term:

• FortiGuard Antivirus: real-time file scanning using signatures maintained by FortiGuard Labs, covering known malware families, ransomware variants, and file-based exploits in network traffic passing through the FortiWiFi 50G.
• Mobile Malware Detection: extends antivirus coverage to mobile application packages (APKs) and mobile-targeted threats. This is particularly relevant for FortiWiFi 50G deployments where mobile devices connect via the built-in wireless radio.
• FortiGate Cloud Sandbox: files not identified by signature-based scanning are submitted to Fortinet’s cloud sandbox for behavioral analysis. Suspicious files are held pending verdict, catching zero-day threats and novel malware variants ahead of signature coverage.

FortiGuard Labs updates virus signatures continuously. The appliance receives these updates for the full 12-month subscription term.

Who runs the standalone AMP subscription

This service fits FortiWiFi 50G deployments where malware protection is the priority subscription to add. It is common when a device already has an active IPS subscription or content filtering license from a previous purchase cycle, and AMP is the remaining gap. It also applies when a new FortiWiFi 50G is being commissioned with a minimal starting subscription and additional services will be added as budget allows.

AMP vs. the subscription bundles

Advanced Malware Protection is included in all three FortiGuard bundle tiers for the FortiWiFi 50G: ATP, UTP, and Enterprise. This standalone license covers AMP only. If the device has no active security subscriptions, a bundle delivers better value by adding IPS, App Control, cloud sandbox, and FortiCare Premium alongside AMP in a single SKU.

The UTP bundle (FC-10-FW50G-950-02-12) includes AMP alongside IPS, URL filtering, App Control, and FortiCare Premium, and is the standard recommendation for a FortiWiFi 50G with no existing subscriptions.

Activation and delivery

The license is issued electronically and applied to the FortiWiFi 50G by serial number through the Fortinet support portal. Once registered, FortiGuard antivirus and malware signature updates push to the appliance continuously for the 12-month term. Cloud sandbox analysis is available for the full duration. Nothing ships.
