WildFire

Palo Alto Networks' cloud-based malware analysis service that detonates unknown files and links to produce verdicts and signatures.

Definition

Firewalls and Cortex agents forward unknown samples to WildFire, which uses static analysis, dynamic analysis in sandboxes and machine learning to classify them as benign, grayware, phishing or malicious. New protections are distributed rapidly to subscribed devices.

Example

An NGFW forwarding an unknown executable to WildFire and receiving a malicious verdict within minutes.

Exam tip

WildFire verdicts are benign, grayware, phishing and malicious.
