What should the administrator consider with regards to the WildFire infrastructure?
Palo Alto Networks owns and maintains one global cloud and four WildFire regional clouds. This infrastructure setup is key for administrators to consider when deploying WildFire globally. Understanding the geographic distribution and management of these clouds is essential for compliance, performance, and overall deployment strategy.
Each Advanced WildFire cloud analyzes samples and generates malware signatures independently of the other Advanced WildFire clouds. With the exception of WildFire private cloud signatures, Advanced WildFire signatures are shared globally, enabling users worldwide to benefit from malware coverage regardless of the location in which the malware was first detected. Because malware evolves rapidly, the signatures that Advanced WildFire generates address multiple variants of the malware.
Each WildFire cloud—global and regional—analyzes samples and generates malware signatures and verdicts independently of the other WildFire clouds. WildFire signatures and verdicts are then shared globally, enabling WildFire users worldwide to benefit from malware coverage regardless of the location in which the malware was first detected.
