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.
WildFire is well suited in big Data centre where a lot of traffic hits daily. WildFire is suited where firewall is internet facing. WildFire is not suitable where lower number of traffic is there. Where user usually don't communicate towards internet because the cost of WildFire is little high so we should use only for internet facing.
  • 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.
Palo Alto Networks WildFire is most trusted than any other firewall. It provides complete file analysis . It's advance technology which run on cloud so the utilisation of CPU doesn't go high. It gives verdict very accurate and easily compared to other vendors. Palo Alto provide complete details of that file via Machine Learning Technology

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 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
It is definitely worth the extra protection on perimeter firewalls or datacenter type architectures. Very little to manage with regard to patches, updates, etc. Good integration with Traps Endpoint Security as well.
  • Seamless functionality
  • File scanning
  • Aggregate power of other customers' Palo Alto Networks WildFire threat signatures
  • Added power of other customers threat signatures
  • No real management overhead
  • Potential zero-day vulnerability blocking (e.g., wannacry)
Cost aside, Palo Alto Networks WildFire provides another layer of useful protection with minimal management overhead.
