Depending on your WildFire™ deployment—public, private, or hybrid—you can view samples submitted to WildFire and analysis results for each sample using the WildFire portal, by accessing the firewall that submitted the sample (or Panorama, if you are centrally managing multiple firewalls), or by using the WildFire API.

After WildFire has analyzed a sample and delivered a verdict of malicious, phishing, grayware, or benign, a detailed analysis report is generated for the sample. WildFire analysis reports viewed on the firewall that submitted the sample also include details for the session during which the sample was detected. For samples identified as malware, the WildFire analysis report includes details on existing WildFire signatures that might be related to the newly-identified malware and information on file attributes, behavior, and activity that indicated the sample was malicious.

You can also view how Advanced WildFire integrates with other Palo Alto Networks applications and security services to protect your organization from threats, as well as get a high-level view of the overall operational health of your deployment, through The Strata Cloud Manager Command Center. The command center functions as your NetSec homepage and provides a comprehensive summary of the health, security, and efficiency of your network, in an interactive visual dashboard with multiple data facets for easy, at-a-glace assessment.

Depending on the product platform, you can access high-level dashboards that provide Advanced WildFire malware detection statistics and usage trends, including context into network activity in the form of analysis insights and more.
