Palo Alto WildFire subscription renewal, PA-200

Network attacks are increasingly driven by sophisticated malware that is designed to avoid traditional antivirus controls. WildFire extends the next-generation firewall to identify and block targeted and unknown malware by actively analyzing unknown malware in a safe, cloud-based virtual environment, where Palo Alto Networks can directly observe malicious malware behaviors. WildFire automatically generates protections for newly discovered malware, and delivers these protections globally, enabling all customers to benefit from the analysis.

WildFire is built on a revolutionary architecture that marries the high throughput and full visibility of the next-generation firewall to inspect all traffic with the scalability and flexibility of the cloud to safely analyze vast quantities of potentially malicious files. By performing analysis in the cloud, WildFire can give complete freedom to malware to perform any actions without putting your network at risk. Also, leveraging the power of the cloud removes the need to install additional single-use hardware in your network, and as malware analysis demands grow, the WildFire cloud can simply add capacity as needed. Furthermore as malware evolves, sandbox logic can easily be updated in the cloud without requiring any updates to your firewalls.
