Before you can enable and configure inline cloud analysis, you
must obtain and install a Threat Prevention or Advanced Threat Prevention
(to access the cloud-based inline cloud analysis features) in addition
to any platform licenses from where it is operated. Licenses are
activated from the
Palo Alto Networks Customer Support
Portal and must be active before you can enable any of the
threat prevention features. Additionally, Threat Prevention (similar
to other Palo Alto Networks security services) is administered through
security profiles, which in turn is dependent on the configuration
of network enforcement policies as defined through security policy rules.
Before enabling Threat Prevention, it is recommended that you familiarize
yourself core components of the security platform in which the security
subscriptions are enabled. Refer to your
product documentation for
more information.
To enable and configure your Threat Prevention subscription to
function optimally within your network security deployment, refer
to the tasks below. While it may not be necessary to implement all
of the processes shown here, Palo Alto Networks recommends reviewing
all of the tasks to familiarize yourself with the available options for
a successful deployment. It is additionally recommended that you
follow the
best practices provided
by Palo Alto Networks for the optimum usability and security.
