Depends on your usage of "work".

The main advantage of the FSA is that it will create a custom signature update immediately and distribute it in your network, to other FortiGates, FortiMails or FortiClients. Other vendors will not benefit from this.

As the FSA is not in-line with the analyzed data stream (for instance, the FGT is), it cannot block malicious traffic directly. It will generate signatures so that the other devices mentioned above will be able to recognize and block the malware.
