Wildfire is Palo Alto’s solution to analysing new files, to determine if they are a threat. Of course, the firewall will be able to drop known malware, but how will it handle unknown files?
When an unknown file comes in, the firewall forwards it to the Wildfire cloud environment. This is an isolated area where the file is analyzed, to see if it is a threat. It is then given a posture assessment; malicious, grayware, phishing, or benign.
When new threats are found, they are added to the signature database, which we download regularly. If there are several threats from a particular IP or URL, these may also be marked as a threat.
In this way, we all help to keep each other safe.
