Fortinet Advanced Threat Protection in Dubai, UAE
Fortinet Advanced Threat Protection, commonly referred to as the FortiGuard ATP bundle for FortiGate, is designed to provide a core set of network and file security services through a subscription matched to a compatible FortiGate appliance. It is not a universal license that can be ordered without checking the firewall model and service term. FourTeck can help businesses compare the ATP bundle with broader FortiGuard choices, confirm what is required for the intended deployment, and prepare a quotation around the correct FortiGate and subscription combination.
Current Fortinet material presents ATP as a foundational bundle within the FortiGuard security service portfolio. Exact availability, service composition, term, SKU and eligibility should be confirmed against the selected FortiGate model and current vendor policy before purchase.

Direct answer for buyers
Fortinet Advanced Threat Protection is best understood as a FortiGuard subscription choice for FortiGate rather than as a separate physical appliance. Its purpose is to add core security services that inspect network and file activity and help identify or block malicious behaviour. Organisations considering it should already know, or be ready to select, the FortiGate model that will receive the subscription. Before proceeding, buyers should confirm the firewall serial or model, whether the purchase is new or renewal, the desired subscription duration, and whether the environment also needs web filtering, DNS security, data-loss controls, IoT security, advanced inline malware prevention or other functions that may require a different bundle or additional service.
What the ATP bundle does
Fortinet currently describes the ATP bundle as a first line of defence for known network intrusions and malware. Its high-level bundle description identifies intrusion prevention, antivirus, FortiSandbox SaaS, application control and inline CASB among the foundational services. These functions address several common paths by which unwanted code, exploit traffic and risky application activity can enter or move through a network. The bundle is designed to work within the FortiGate security platform, which means configuration on the firewall determines how and where those services are applied.
The practical value therefore depends on more than buying a license. Security profiles must be associated with suitable firewall policies, inspection settings must fit business applications, and the FortiGate itself must be correctly sized for traffic volume and inspection requirements. FourTeck can help buyers separate the subscription choice from the appliance-sizing decision so the quotation reflects both security scope and real network demand.
Who should consider it
ATP may suit organisations that want core FortiGuard protection for a FortiGate and do not automatically need every security service in the broader FortiGuard portfolio. It can be relevant to offices, branches, professional firms, schools, clinics, warehouses, retail environments and distributed organisations where intrusion prevention, anti-malware controls, sandbox-assisted file analysis and application visibility are key requirements.
It should not be chosen simply because the name sounds comprehensive. Current Fortinet bundle information places several important functions outside ATP, including web and DNS security, data loss prevention, AI-based inline malware prevention, IoT security and attack-surface monitoring. A buyer who expects those functions may be better served by UTP, Enterprise Protection or selected a-la-carte services. FourTeck can help compare the required controls before the subscription is ordered.
Business problems ATP can help address
Exploit activity at the gateway
Intrusion prevention can inspect traffic for exploit patterns and known attack techniques. The policy, inspection mode and FortiOS configuration still need to be aligned with application requirements and the selected FortiGate model.
Malicious files and unknown samples
Antivirus and FortiSandbox SaaS can add layered file analysis. Sandboxing is useful when suspicious objects require deeper analysis beyond a simple signature check, but submission behaviour and supported workflows are configuration dependent.
Uncontrolled application use
Application control can help identify and manage application categories or specific applications according to policy. The business should define which applications are essential, tolerated, restricted or prohibited before enforcement is tightened.
Security subscription sprawl
A bundle can simplify procurement compared with buying each service separately, but buyers should still compare the included services against actual needs. A lower tier is not automatically cheaper if important controls later have to be added individually.

Licensing, compatibility and scope dependencies
The ATP bundle is model dependent. A license intended for one FortiGate model should not be assumed to work for another model, and a renewal should be matched to the correct appliance identity and entitlement. For a new project, the firewall hardware, security bundle and term should be selected as one bill of materials. For an existing deployment, the serial number, current support state, expiry date and existing bundle are useful inputs before a renewal quote is requested.
Fortinet’s current public bundle page also makes an important distinction between ATP, UTP and Enterprise Protection. ATP is positioned as the foundational tier. UTP adds web-focused controls such as URL and DNS filtering and anti-botnet/C2 services. Enterprise Protection adds broader functions that Fortinet currently lists around data protection, attack-surface visibility, AI-based inline malware prevention and IoT-related security. Because the service matrix can change, FourTeck should confirm the current official ordering scope when preparing a quote rather than relying on an old feature list.
A practical purchase journey
Identify the FortiGate
Provide the exact appliance model or, for a renewal, the serial number and current entitlement details. This prevents a quote from being prepared for the wrong platform.
Define the protection requirement
Clarify whether the business needs core intrusion and malware protection only, or also expects web filtering, DNS control, DLP, advanced inline malware controls or IoT security.
Choose term and purchase type
State whether this is a new subscription, bundled appliance purchase or renewal. The desired service term and renewal timing affect the SKU and commercial quote.
Plan configuration
Decide whether FourTeck should include installation, security profile configuration, policy review, SSL inspection planning, testing, migration or handover support.
Confirm quotation and availability
Review the final model, license term, quantity, service scope and delivery or activation expectations before approval. Availability and vendor lead time can vary.
Capability focus: intrusion prevention and exploit control
Intrusion prevention is one of the clearest reasons businesses consider the ATP bundle. A firewall can allow legitimate network sessions while still inspecting those sessions for patterns associated with known vulnerabilities and malicious behaviour. This is useful when organisations expose services to the internet, connect branch offices, permit remote access, host internal applications, or simply want more control over what crosses the perimeter. The effectiveness of IPS is not determined by the subscription alone. Policy placement, inspection settings, signature action, exception handling, network architecture and device capacity all matter.
For buyers, the key question is whether the selected FortiGate has enough inspected-throughput headroom for the traffic profile. Firewall throughput figures should never be treated as a substitute for security-performance sizing. SSL inspection, IPS, application control and other services can add processing demand, while real traffic patterns vary by number of users, cloud applications, branch tunnels and file transfers. FourTeck can help collect bandwidth, user count, concurrent session and application information so the appliance and ATP subscription are evaluated together.
Operationally, businesses should also decide how aggressive prevention should be. Blocking every event without testing can disrupt legitimate applications, while monitoring everything without tuning can leave the team with alerts but limited enforcement. A staged policy approach can be appropriate: identify critical traffic, enable suitable profiles, review logs, tune exceptions and then increase enforcement according to the organisation’s risk tolerance. Configuration support should be included in the quotation when the customer does not already have an experienced FortiGate administrator.
Capability focus: anti-malware and FortiSandbox SaaS
File-borne threats remain relevant even when organisations use cloud applications and encrypted web traffic. The ATP bundle combines anti-malware capability with FortiSandbox SaaS in Fortinet’s current bundle description. Antivirus can identify known or recognised malicious content, while sandboxing adds a deeper analysis path for suspicious files that warrant behavioural examination. The value of sandboxing is that the system can assess what a file attempts to do rather than relying only on a static signature.
Buyers should understand that sandbox-assisted protection is not identical to the separate AI-based Inline Malware Prevention service that Fortinet currently places outside the ATP bundle. This distinction matters because phrases such as “zero-day protection” are often used too broadly in product listings. A buyer who specifically wants inline handling of unknown traffic should verify whether the ATP bundle meets that requirement or whether Enterprise Protection or another FortiGuard service is more appropriate. FourTeck can help translate the operational requirement into the correct service choice instead of assuming that similarly named features are interchangeable.
Inspection scope is another planning point. Security profiles only inspect the traffic to which they are applied, and encrypted sessions may need SSL inspection for the firewall to evaluate protected content effectively. SSL inspection can introduce certificate, privacy, compatibility and performance considerations, so it should be planned around the organisation’s applications and acceptable inspection policy. The subscription provides capabilities; the deployment design determines how safely and effectively those capabilities are used.
Capability focus: application control and inline CASB
Application control gives network administrators another policy dimension beyond ports and IP addresses. Many modern applications use common web protocols, so simply allowing or blocking a TCP port does not provide meaningful business control. Application identification can help the organisation distinguish approved collaboration tools, remote-access applications, file-sharing services, media, consumer applications or other categories and then apply policy according to business need.
Fortinet’s current high-level ATP bundle information also lists inline CASB. Buyers should confirm the precise supported SaaS visibility and control functions for the selected FortiOS version and service entitlement because SaaS security requirements can vary substantially. A company that needs detailed cloud-application governance, data protection or broader SaaS posture controls should not assume that the ATP bundle alone satisfies every CASB or DLP objective.
The most useful procurement approach is to describe the applications that matter rather than request a bundle based only on its name. If the business needs Microsoft 365 access controls, specific file-sharing restrictions, remote administration control, social-media policies, developer-tool visibility or restrictions on unsanctioned SaaS use, share those requirements with FourTeck. They can then be mapped to the current Fortinet capabilities and licensing options before a quote is finalised.
Ideal business environments and use cases
Internet-edge FortiGate
A business using FortiGate as its primary internet gateway can use ATP services to add IPS, anti-malware, sandbox-assisted analysis and application controls to selected traffic policies. The appliance still needs to be sized for inspected traffic and VPN demand.
Branch security
Branches may need a consistent baseline of threat protection without every advanced service in the broader bundle portfolio. Central management and reporting requirements should be confirmed separately because they can involve additional Fortinet platforms or cloud services.
Firewall renewal projects
When a FortiGate subscription is approaching expiry, ATP may be considered as a renewal option if its security scope matches current requirements. Buyers should check what bundle is already active and whether business needs have changed since the previous term.
Security standardisation
Organisations with several FortiGate devices can review whether a common bundle tier is appropriate across sites. A standard bundle can simplify administration, but not every branch necessarily has the same risk profile, traffic volume or feature requirement.
New office deployment
A new office can select the firewall and ATP term together. Internet bandwidth, remote users, VLANs, servers, guest networks, Wi-Fi, voice, CCTV and future growth should be included in the sizing discussion before hardware is selected.
Policy improvement projects
A company may already own an eligible subscription but underuse it because profiles were not applied consistently. Configuration review can identify whether the current FortiGate policies make practical use of the entitled security services.
Integration and operational considerations
Fortinet Advanced Threat Protection sits inside a wider operational environment. The FortiGate may connect to managed switches, access points, branch tunnels, remote users, servers, cloud services and logging platforms. Before enabling deeper inspection, the team should understand critical traffic flows and maintenance expectations. SSL inspection can affect certificate-sensitive applications. IPS can require tuning where legacy software or uncommon protocols are present. Application control can disrupt business tools if a broad category is blocked without review. Sandboxing may need policies that define which file types or traffic paths are submitted for analysis.
Logging and visibility should also be considered. Security controls are more useful when events can be reviewed and acted upon. Depending on the deployment, customers may consider FortiAnalyzer, FortiAnalyzer Cloud or other reporting and security-operations options. Those tools should not be assumed to be included in ATP. The requirement for centralised logging, retention, compliance reporting, alerting or SOC integration should be stated during the quotation stage.
For high-availability FortiGate designs, licensing and support must be checked against the intended HA architecture. Fortinet ordering rules can vary by appliance generation and service model. Share the proposed HA design with FourTeck so the bill of materials reflects both devices, current licensing policy and any required support or subscriptions.
Buyer questions to resolve before ordering
Procurement checklist
☐ Exact FortiGate model or serial number
☐ New subscription, bundle purchase or renewal
☐ Required subscription duration
☐ Quantity of FortiGate devices
☐ Current license and expiry status
☐ Required security functions beyond core ATP
☐ Internet bandwidth and inspected-traffic requirement
☐ VPN, branch and remote-user load
☐ SSL inspection requirement
☐ HA or redundancy design
☐ Logging and reporting expectations
☐ Installation or configuration scope
☐ Migration or policy-conversion requirement
☐ Destination and target activation timeline
A complete checklist reduces the chance of receiving a quotation that looks correct but does not match the intended firewall or security scope. If several FortiGate models are involved, provide a per-device list so each subscription can be matched correctly.
FourTeck consultation, sizing and configuration assistance
FourTeck can support the buying process from requirement clarification through quotation preparation and deployment planning. For a renewal, the most useful starting point is the existing FortiGate model, serial number, current subscription and expiry date. For a new deployment, FourTeck can help review users, bandwidth, VPN, number of sites, interfaces, VLANs, server access, inspection requirements and growth expectations before proposing a FortiGate and ATP term.
Configuration assistance can also be discussed as part of the scope. This may include policy planning, IPS and antivirus profile review, application control, sandbox-related settings, SSL inspection planning, VPN and routing review, logging, backups, testing and handover. The exact work depends on the customer’s network, access availability and approved project scope. Buyers who need broader firewall services can review FourTeck firewall services or ask for Fortinet firewall guidance in Dubai.
UAE availability and support guidance
Contact FourTeck to confirm current UAE availability for the required FortiGuard ATP subscription, the exact FortiGate model and the desired term. Subscription SKUs are appliance specific, and commercial availability can depend on model generation, quantity, renewal status, vendor lead time and current ordering rules. Delivery or activation expectations should therefore be confirmed after the bill of materials has been checked.
If the requirement includes hardware as well as the security subscription, share the expected number of users, internet bandwidth, VPN load, port requirements and installation environment so FourTeck can review the FortiGate appliance and license together. Installation and configuration scope should be included in the quotation when required rather than assumed to be part of the license purchase. Use the FourTeck contact page to request current UAE pricing and licensing guidance.
Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman coverage
Businesses in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman can contact FourTeck for requirement review, FortiGate sizing, ATP bundle selection, renewal guidance, quotation coordination, configuration planning and related firewall support. The most useful information is the exact FortiGate model or, for a new project, the business network requirement that will determine the model. Service coordination can vary by location, site access, approved scope, appliance availability and whether the work is remote or on-site. FourTeck can also help buyers compare ATP with broader FortiGuard bundle choices when the organisation needs web security, DNS filtering, data-loss controls or other functions not positioned in the current ATP high-level scope.
GCC Availability
FourTeck can assist organisations planning FortiGate and FortiGuard Advanced Threat Protection requirements across selected GCC markets, including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman. Regional projects often involve more than obtaining a license code. The FortiGate model, subscription term, purchase or renewal status, quantity, deployment location and required security controls should be reviewed first so the correct subscription can be quoted. FourTeck can help with requirement clarification, bundle comparison, quotation coordination, configuration scope, installation planning and renewal guidance. Product availability, licensing, delivery schedules, service visits, activation timing and vendor lead times can vary by country, appliance model, quantity and project requirement. Buyers should share the destination country, FortiGate model or sizing requirement, license term, deployment locations and expected timeline before a regional quote is prepared. For Kuwait-related enquiries, the FourTeck Kuwait platform is also available for regional technology discussions.
Africa Availability
Organisations in Africa can approach FourTeck for planning and procurement guidance when a FortiGate security subscription is part of a branch, office, campus or regional network project. The ATP bundle should be matched to the exact appliance and business requirement, while accessories, hardware, other FortiGuard services, configuration and support should be treated as separate bill-of-material decisions where applicable. FourTeck can help buyers review licensing, renewal status, deployment expectations, configuration scope and related security requirements for selected markets, including East African enquiries through Kenya and Uganda channels. Availability and fulfilment can depend on the destination, FortiGate model, quantity, licensing region, shipping arrangements, vendor lead time, power or regulatory requirements and local project conditions. Share the destination country, exact requirement, quantity, preferred deployment schedule and support expectations so a practical quotation path can be discussed. Regional buyers may also use the FourTeck Africa site for broader technology enquiries.
Related FourTeck products, services and options to compare
FortiGate firewall selection
A new ATP purchase starts with the correct FortiGate. Review user count, bandwidth, interfaces, VPN and inspection needs before choosing hardware.
Unified Threat Protection
UTP may be relevant when the business also requires Fortinet’s web and DNS-focused security services. Confirm the current bundle matrix for the target model.
Enterprise Protection
Enterprise Protection can be considered when broader data, attack-surface, inline malware and IoT-related controls are required. Exact inclusions remain vendor-policy dependent.
Firewall configuration
Subscription capabilities only become useful when security profiles and policies are configured appropriately. FourTeck can include configuration scope in the project quote.
FortiSandbox options
Organisations with specialised malware-analysis needs may also evaluate FortiSandbox deployment options beyond the SaaS component associated with FortiGuard services.
Renewal planning
Existing FortiGate customers should review expiry dates and current bundle scope before renewal so there is time to compare terms and avoid mismatched SKUs.
How buyers are evaluating Fortinet ATP today
Most buyers researching Fortinet Advanced Threat Protection are not only asking what the bundle contains. They are trying to answer a more practical set of questions: Is ATP the right subscription for my FortiGate? What is the difference between ATP and UTP? Does it include web filtering? Is sandboxing part of the bundle? Can I renew an existing firewall with ATP? Which license code matches my appliance? How much should I budget? Can the subscription be purchased without replacing the hardware? Those questions show why the exact FortiGate model and business requirement matter more than the bundle name alone.
ATP is not a one-size-fits-all license
Search results often show ATP subscriptions tied to specific FortiGate models and terms. That reflects how Fortinet licensing is sold: the service has to match the appliance. A price seen for a FortiGate 60F subscription does not indicate the price for an 80F, 100F, 120G or another model. Newer platforms may also use different ordering identifiers. Buyers should therefore avoid comparing prices until the exact firewall is known.
The bundle name does not mean every FortiGuard service
Current Fortinet material positions ATP as the foundational tier in a building-block bundle structure. This is useful for buyers because it creates a clear decision point: if core IPS, anti-malware, sandbox-assisted analysis and application control are the primary need, ATP can be reviewed. If the organisation also needs web filtering and DNS security, UTP deserves comparison. If the requirement extends into broader data or IoT controls, Enterprise Protection should be considered.
A common source of confusion is the phrase “advanced malware protection.” Fortinet uses related names for specific services as well as for bundled capabilities. The ATP bundle and the separate Advanced Malware Protection service should not be treated as identical terms in every context. The safest purchasing method is to start from the current official bundle matrix and the exact FortiGate ordering guide for the target appliance, then verify the quotation line item. FourTeck can perform that check during the quoting process.
Another frequent question concerns sandboxing. Fortinet’s current ATP summary includes FortiSandbox SaaS, which supports deeper analysis of suspicious content. However, Fortinet also lists an AI-based Inline Malware Prevention service elsewhere in its current bundle portfolio, and that service is not shown as part of the high-level ATP tier. Buyers who specifically require inline treatment of unknown malware should describe that requirement explicitly rather than assume all sandbox-related capabilities are included under one label.
Pricing research also needs context. Public reseller listings show that ATP subscription prices vary widely by FortiGate model and term. That is expected because larger appliances carry different licensing costs and multi-year terms are priced differently from one-year coverage. Currency, reseller policy, tax, region and whether the listing is a renewal or new entitlement can also change the figure. A generic “Fortinet ATP price” is therefore not a reliable budgeting number. For a meaningful UAE quote, share the model, term, quantity and renewal status. FourTeck can then confirm current pricing for the correct SKU instead of using a price from a different appliance.
For organisations deciding between keeping an existing FortiGate and replacing it, the subscription decision should be combined with a lifecycle and performance review. A firewall may still accept a security subscription but no longer provide sufficient capacity for current internet bandwidth, SSL inspection, VPN load or growth. Conversely, a capable appliance may only need a subscription renewal and policy tuning. Review the device model, age, firmware path, support state, CPU or memory pressure during busy periods and expected traffic growth before assuming hardware replacement is necessary.
Buyers also ask whether ATP automatically protects every user once activated. It does not work that way. Entitlement makes the services available to the FortiGate, but administrators still need to apply security profiles to the relevant firewall policies and tune inspection according to the environment. A poorly configured firewall can underuse a strong subscription, while an over-aggressive policy can interrupt legitimate business traffic. Request configuration support when the internal team does not routinely manage FortiGate security profiles.
The strongest quotation request therefore contains more than a product name. Include the FortiGate model, serial number for renewals, current expiry date, required term, number of devices, bandwidth, user count, security functions that matter, and whether installation or configuration support is needed. This gives FourTeck enough information to compare ATP with alternatives and return a quotation that corresponds to the actual environment rather than a generic license description.
Questions buyers should answer before choosing a bundle
Do I need ATP if I already own a FortiGate?
Owning a FortiGate does not automatically mean every FortiGuard security service is active. Check the current entitlement and expiry date. If the appliance is still appropriate for the network, an ATP subscription may be considered when its service scope matches the requirement. If the firewall is undersized or near a lifecycle transition, hardware review may be equally important.
Should I choose ATP or UTP?
Choose by required controls, not by bundle name. Current Fortinet information positions ATP around foundational network and file protection, while UTP adds web and DNS-focused services. If web categorisation, secure DNS filtering or anti-botnet/C2 controls are required, ask FourTeck to compare UTP against ATP for the same FortiGate model and term.
Can I buy ATP first and add other services later?
Fortinet offers a-la-carte security services as well as bundles, but the most economical path depends on the combination of services and the device. If several additional services are already known to be required, compare a broader bundle before purchasing ATP plus multiple add-ons. Current vendor rules and pricing should be checked at quotation time.
What should I send for a renewal quote?
Send the FortiGate serial number, model, current bundle, expiry date, desired renewal term and any changes in security requirement. If the firewall is in HA, include the cluster design and both device details. This allows the supplier to validate the correct subscription line instead of quoting only from a model name.
Does a higher bundle tier mean I need a bigger firewall?
Not automatically, but enabling more inspection can increase processing demand. Firewall sizing should reflect actual services in use, bandwidth, encrypted traffic, session count, VPN and growth. If a project is moving from basic firewalling to deeper inspection, re-check capacity rather than assuming the existing appliance has enough headroom.
How do I avoid paying for the wrong security tier?
List the business controls you need and map them to the current Fortinet service matrix. Do not purchase based only on “ATP,” “UTP” or “Enterprise” labels. FourTeck can help verify which tier covers the required controls and where additional products or services are necessary.
Why businesses contact FourTeck
Fortinet licensing becomes much easier when the buyer starts with the real requirement instead of a partial part number from a search result. FourTeck can help clarify whether the project is a new FortiGate purchase, a subscription renewal, a bundle comparison, a capacity upgrade or a configuration improvement. The team can then match the discussion to the correct appliance, license term and support scope.
Common assistance includes model and license selection, bill-of-material review, compatibility checking, quotation coordination, firewall sizing, installation planning, policy and security-profile configuration, migration planning, renewal guidance and support coordination. FourTeck does not need to assume that one bundle fits every customer. A professional-services firm may prioritise application control and malware protection, while a school may also require web categorisation, and a regulated organisation may need broader data controls. The buying path should reflect those differences.

Frequently asked questions
What is Fortinet Advanced Threat Protection?
It is a FortiGuard security bundle for compatible FortiGate deployments. Fortinet currently positions ATP as a foundational tier for network and file security, with a high-level bundle summary that includes IPS, antivirus, FortiSandbox SaaS, application control and inline CASB. Exact service entitlement should be verified for the current SKU and model.
Is Fortinet ATP a physical appliance?
No. In this buying context ATP is a FortiGuard subscription bundle used with a compatible FortiGate appliance. A customer purchasing a new firewall may buy the hardware and subscription together, while an existing FortiGate customer may be requesting a renewal or change of security bundle.
Does the ATP bundle include web filtering?
Fortinet’s current high-level ATP description does not position web and DNS security within ATP; those controls are associated with broader bundle choices such as UTP. Because service matrices can change, confirm the current bundle scope for the exact FortiGate before ordering.
Does ATP include FortiSandbox?
Fortinet currently lists FortiSandbox SaaS in the ATP bundle summary. Buyers should distinguish this from other sandbox or inline malware-prevention offerings and confirm the exact entitlement, workflow and inspection requirement for their FortiGate and FortiOS deployment.
What information is needed for an ATP renewal quote?
Provide the FortiGate model, serial number, current bundle, expiry date, preferred renewal term and quantity. If the appliance is part of a high-availability pair or a wider fleet, include those details so licensing can be checked against the actual design.
How is ATP different from UTP?
Current Fortinet bundle information positions ATP as core network and file protection, while UTP includes ATP services and adds web-oriented controls such as URL and DNS filtering and other protections. The right choice depends on the security functions the business actually needs.
Can FourTeck help configure the FortiGate after licensing?
Configuration support can be discussed as part of the project. Scope may include firewall policies, IPS, antivirus, application control, sandbox settings, SSL inspection planning, VPN, routing, logging, testing and backup. The exact work depends on the network and approved quotation.
Is the ATP price the same for every FortiGate?
No. Public listings show that prices vary significantly by FortiGate model and subscription term. Region, renewal status, reseller policy and current vendor pricing can also affect the quotation. Request pricing for the exact appliance rather than using another model as a benchmark.
How can I check UAE availability?
Share the FortiGate model or serial number, required term, quantity and whether the request is a new purchase or renewal. FourTeck can then check current UAE availability, correct SKU, quotation and any related configuration or deployment requirements.
Need the correct FortiGuard ATP license for your FortiGate?
Send FourTeck the FortiGate model or serial number, current subscription status, desired term and the security functions your organisation needs. The team can help compare ATP with other FortiGuard choices, confirm the right bill of materials and prepare a UAE quotation without treating an unrelated model price as your final cost.
