Fortinet Content Analysis Service, 1-Year (FC4-10-FEVVS-160-02-12)

Signature-based email filtering catches known threats, but zero-day payloads buried in PDF attachments or obfuscated URLs often slip through unchecked. Adding the Content Analysis Service to a FortiMail VM tier-4 instance provides a real-time sandbox and Content Disarm and Reconstruction layer that intercepts those threats before they reach end users. This 1-Year term gives organizations running at the 8-vCPU capacity level a single annual renewal cycle that aligns with most IT budget reviews.

Overview

FortiMail VM’s Content Analysis Service, identified by service code 160, extends the platform’s core anti-spam and anti-phishing filters with dynamic inspection. When a message arrives carrying a suspicious attachment or URL, the service submits it to a sandbox for behavioral analysis or strips and rebuilds it through CDR, neutralizing active content while preserving the file structure. Both paths run inline, so inspection results are returned before delivery is completed.

This SKU covers a FortiMail VM deployed at tier 4 (8 vCPU), sized for mid-range email volumes. The Content Analysis Service requires an active FortiMail VM subscription license on the same instance; it cannot operate as a standalone product.

Who it suits

This 1-Year add-on is appropriate for organizations that already hold a FortiMail VM tier-4 subscription and want advanced content inspection on an annual renewal cadence. It suits IT teams at companies with moderate email volumes where annual budget cycles make shorter commitments the preferred choice. Because this is an electronic subscription, it is available to FortiMail operators worldwide with no geographic restriction.
