Palo Alto Networks WildFire plays a critical role in strengthening our cybersecurity posture. We use it to detect and prevent unknown threats across our network, endpoints, and cloud environments. Palo Alto Networks WildFire analyzes suspicious files and URLs in real time. Once a threat is identified, Palo Alto Networks WildFire automatically shares updated protections across our infrastructure, reducing exposure time and improving response speed. Our SOC also relies on Palo Alto Networks WildFire’s detailed threat intelligence to investigate incidents. Since implementing Palo Alto Networks WildFire, we’ve significantly reduced false positives and improved our ability to respond to emerging threats. It has become a foundational part of our layered defense strategy, helping us stay ahead of rapidly evolving threats.

Malware prevention
Automated protection of multiple workloads cloud and on-prem
Improves incident response times and reduces false positives

The UI is needlessly complex in some cases.
HTTPS/SSL decryption is difficult to handle
Integration with our MDE isn't very helpful

We seem to have reduced the number of security incidents after implementing Palo Alto Networks WildFire.
Our SOC has more time for other tasks due to fewer incidents and false-positives

So when we are talking about WildFire, first thing which comes in our mind is Zero Day Attack. Zero Day Attack means when a new type of attack happen and firewall don't have any signature of this. So in this case WildFire comes into picture. Basically firewall sends a copy of file to WildFire where it WildFire runs the file in various environment and analysis the file. If the file is harmful and malicious WildFire update the signature in all the firewall. So in this way it prevents future attack .

It prevents Zero Day Attack
It updates the signature base of all firewall when new attack is found.
It run the file in virtual environment so that local pc isn't affect .
It is use to analyse the file before any false decision.

The main pain is that we have to purchase the WildFire Licence separately. I think it should be by default available in Palo Alto Firewall.
Sometimes it takes much time to analyse the file.
It provides result after attack is happened.

The main features is that it helps to detect Zero Day Attack.
It updates the signature base of Firewall.
It runs over cloud so the CPU of firewall is not utilised.

As we all know the product of Palo Alto is little bit expensive but its performance is far better than any of its competitors. So as I previously mentioned, Palo Alto should not sell WildFire Licence seperately.
If the firewall is internet facing then only we should buy WildFire Licence.
WildFire Licence is not necessary for internal firewall. If you are planning to buy a firewall for internal network where your traffic is not going towards internet so no need to buy WildFire Licence.

WildFire, from Palo Alto Networks, is a cloud-based threat intelligence and sandboxing solution. We use it on our edge networks to protect against internet threats and dangers from our shared services environment or other customers who have been allowed to communicate. We protected our network in many layers, and we use wildfire to keep our cloud services secure across the company. Malware and evasive attacks on sensitive data were detected and prevented. To protect against malicious attacks, it employs an endpoint scanner that works in tandem with WildFire.

It can detect potentially dangerous files of various kinds and operating system executable files as well. Integration of AutoFocus with Palo Alto solutions is one click.
Ensuring that you're protected against the newest dangers, including zero-day attacks. This is called zero-day monitoring.
By using Palo Alto's threat protection capabilities, the tool helps to alleviate compliance issues by enabling on-site sandboxing of files.
Cost-wise, it's competitive with other comparable solutions on the market, and it integrated well with current Palo Alto systems. Scalability and management simplicity are also significant advantages.

WildFire, like other sandboxes, has to stay up with malware sandbox evasion techniques, which necessitates larger file size limits.
More file formats should be able to be submitted and scanned by WildFire, which needs improved initial administration and setup.
It's quite pricey, and there's no warning choice for performance on the cloud.

Problems are resolved, and smooth functioning is achieved.
File scanning and well-trained staff are two benefits.
There is no requirement for technical help, and the combined power of multiple WildFire threat signatures is accessible.

Our ability to report third-party combat infiltration testing is enhanced by other customers' threat signatures.
The additional high-end security equipment demonstrates strong attention to sensitive data we handle and address IT security vulnerabilities.
Enhanced network visibility and unknown file analysis assist detect malware that lacks a current signature.

It's been used as an APT and zero day. It's leveraging the current Palo Alto deployment where they're located at perimeter, data center and cloud.Main usage is for the perimeter defense for the whole organization.Without WildFire, static analysis and file checks do not give the up-to-date protection level for current infrastructure. That's also assisting the SOC for threat detection and hunting. Autofocus integration is a plus for file trajectory. API integrations with different solutions enrich the product usability.

Integration with Palo Alto solutions (very easy and one-click).
Zero day detection.
AutoFocus integration.
Leveraging the Palo Alto threat prevention features.
API integration with different solutions (many of them already built-in configurations).
Unit 42 threat research team behind the WildFire.
Integration with 3rd-party feeds.
Upcoming solutions and acquisitions of Palo Alto are integrated and built-in capability of WF usage.

Local WF appliance is lacking in term of functionality like no bare metal analysis in local solution.
No new features coming to local WF appliances.
No built-in integration with GlobalProtect Agent.
Cloud WF does not have the option for specific regions to be used (compliance).
Cloud side does not have alarming option for [degraded] performance.
Lack of forensics (needs additional product or integration).

Adding it to the already implied PAN infrastructure is cheap compared to other vendors.
Opening WF integration on the Datacenter segmentation is somehow costly.
From the audit perspective it's covering the gaps of IT security.

We currently have a Palo Alto Networks WildFire subscription across all our Palo Alto Firewalls. It adds an extra layer of protection from addressing zero-day exploits and malware. It can be deployed on-prem or in the cloud. It is a relatively expensive license considering all Palo Alto customers get WildFire, but only the paid version get updates within one hour vs 24 hours. Overall it seems worth it.

Helps block zero-day exploits
You get the combined power of other users' Palo Alto Networks WildFire file scanning signatures as well
Seamless install and very little to manage

Need larger file size limits
They need to be able to submit and scan more file types
Rather expensive

Seamless functionality
