Advanced WildFire by Palo Alto Networks is a cloud-based malware prevention engine that uses machine learning and crowdsourced intelligence to protect organizations from file-based threats. The system combines static and dynamic analysis with a custom-built hypervisor to identify and prevent sophisticated and evasive threats with minimal false positives. Operating through cloud-delivered infrastructure, it includes inline machine learning capabilities for preventing malicious content in common file types without requiring cloud analysis. The solution stops 26% more highly evasive zero-day malware compared to standard protection and delivers protections 60X faster through cloud-based architecture, aiming to stop up to 95% of unknown malware variants inline without compromising business operations. The service integrates with Prisma Cloud's Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) to analyze and identify malware in stored data without requiring separate security products.
