What Palo Alto Networks WildFire is

Palo Alto Networks WildFire is a paid web service for analyzing URLs, files, and network traffic. Its listed capabilities include URL analysis, network traffic analysis, and extraction of indicators of compromise. API access is available for integrating with workflows that use programmatic requests. File analysis has a listed size limit of 100.0 MB. WildFire has no free plan, and pricing is available on request rather than published as a fixed amount. The service is offered through Palo Alto Networks’ WildFire website. Its combination of URL, file, and traffic analysis gives security teams several input types to consider in one web-based product. Buyers evaluating it should determine whether the API access and analysis categories fit their processes, and whether the 100.0 MB file boundary accommodates the files they need to examine.

Who it suits

It suits security teams that need web-based URL, file, and network-traffic analysis with API access. Teams handling larger files should account for the 100.0 MB limit.
