Overall Satisfaction with Palo Alto Networks WildFire

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.
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 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.
