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.
Palo Alto Networks Wildfire is safe that is capable of safeguarding our network from any harm. Using it, we'll be safe from the most recent types of malware. Cloud-based firewalls like WildFire are becoming more popular and for good reason. I'd suggest it as a Network Engineer for both compliance and management, depending on the situation. A disadvantage of this approach is that it is too costly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). In most cases, they are quick to respond and get the issue resolved within a few hours.
  • 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.
WildFire from Palo Alto Networks provides security with very little overhead. With AutoFocus, they’ve got threat intelligence built right in. That way, it can prepare us to react swiftly when a significant danger is identified and dealt with as soon as possible. They introduced firewalls that are aware of applications and can make use of Wildfire. It sped our ability to respond to emerging threats up because of this game-changing development.

We are using Wildfire to protect our network at several layers, we're using it on our edge networks to protect from threats on the internet as well as protecting our internal client networks from threats that may exist in our shared services environment or each other in the case of a few specific clients who are allowed to talk to each other. Additionally we use it to protect our corporate presence from the internet as well as our remote hosting environment. Wildfire has proven to be a lifesaver through several zero-day events including wanna-cry.
  • Detecting malware
  • Zero-day threat prevention
  • Keeping you up to date with the latest threats
  • Cost
  • I would personally like to see more JSON support in the API rather than XML, but that's being very nitpicky
Palo Alto Networks Wildfire is well suited for pretty much anywhere that you need the latest and greatest network security. It is extremely good at protecting you from the latest malware threats that might pose a potential problem for your network/endpoints. We've been very please since we installed it and I would say cost of the Palo Altos is the only drawback. If money were no object I'd go with a Palo Alto with Wildfire every time. But unfortunately in some smaller branches it just doesn't make financial sense.
  • Protected us and our clients from Wanna-Cry!
  • Made for a more secure network.
  • Allows us to provide multiple clients with shared services while protecting us and all of our clients from the latest threats.
Palo Alto and Wildfire are kind of unique, they give you much deeper inspection then was previously available with ASAs or really any sort of traditional firewall. Once they introduced the application aware firewalls that are capable of utilizing Wildfire it was a game changer and has made us able to react to new threats quicker than ever before by catching them before they make it into the network rather than after they've made it into the network and infected a host.

Our network & security engineers are the ones that are responsible for using Palo Alto Networks Wildfire. We're using it to address the high security requirements and concerns of our customers and to ensure that their remote hosted systems are kept safe and secure. Which can and has been challenging in the past, but Wildfire helps make this much simpler and is constantly updating.

We have a rather large team of network and security engineers supporting our Palo Alto Network devices that have Wildfire enabled. Their job is not solely maintaining WildFire and the Palo Altos though so I wouldn't let the number of engineers that we have scare you away from using Wildfire.
  • Malware detection
  • Zero Day Protection
  • Automated Threat Prevention
  • None really, it's been pretty easy to use/setup out of the box and does what it's intended to do.
  • We're looking at implementing Palo Altos in place of ASAs between our clients and our datacenters. This should give us higher layer visibility & malware detection between us and our clients.
It works very well and takes care of protecting us from threats new and well-known. It's been a game changer in terms of threat detection & prevention.
Yes
We've begun using Palo Alto Firewalls in place of older ASAs and they work amazingly well. The logging and tools in the Palo Alto ecosystem are incredibly useful. More specifically Palo Alto Expedition made the migration painless.

Palo Alto has some rather unique capabilities when compared to the competition.
Might have started with larger firewalls and implemented them in more places to capitalize on the savings from buying in bulk.
For the most part they're pretty responsive and the problem gets resolved in a few hours. We've had a few issues with having to replace an unusually high number of power supplies in our Palo Alto devices, but those tickets are normally resolved pretty quickly and other than that we really haven't had many issues. There has been maybe one or two incidents where it took a couple days to get to the root cause, but none of them have been production impacting as we've deployed our Palos in redundant pairs and the failover worked well for us.
I can't think of anything specific to Wildfire but they're generally really quick with providing power supply replacements when we need them.
  • Dynamic Updates
  • Traffic inspection for malware detection & threat prevention.
  • Haven't really found any, the Palo Alto ecosystem in general is pretty easy to use and very well documented.
Easy to use and works well. For the most part it's set it and forget it, but there's also some flexibility for high security environments and those with extra privacy concerns.

WildFire is a good product for sandboxing unknown files. Any exe, pdf, doc, etc file that originates from the interwebs is sent to the WF cloud. Internal info is sent to a WF appliance for internal assessment. Hashes from internal analysis is shared with the cloud but not the file.
  • WF helps identify potentially malicious files across a large range of types and operating system executable files.
  • WF + Traps helps catch things from a client that may traverse encrypted channels or that don't pass through a firewall.
  • WF Appliance helps address compliance concerns allowing sandboxing of files on site.
  • As all sand boxes, WF needs to stay on top of malware sandbox evasion techniques.
  • The initial management and setup of WF could be better.
  • Have had some bugs with WF code.
With the new integration to Traps and Virtual firewalls, the only place WF does not work is trying to analyze files that don't cross a firewall (1) and where Traps can't be installed (2). Other than that, there is no issue sandboxing everything that has an unknown hash.
  • Unknown file analysis helps with identifying malware that may not have a current signature.
  • Additional visibility into files transferred across networks.
  • FireEye
We use both FireEye and WildFire - they are the same and different. No analysis has been done.
