Palo Alto Networks offers Federal, Department of Defense, or Approved Defense Industrial
Base (DIB) customers, the Advanced WildFire Government Cloud, a high-security malware
analysis platform that conforms to FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management
Program) High certification standards.
The Advanced WildFire Public Sector Cloud operates as a separate and distinct entity from
Commercial or Government Cloud regions — Any privacy information that might be present
in samples sent for analysis, such as email addresses, IP addresses, and passive DNS,
will not be shared with any other WildFire cloud instance. However, it is still able to
leverage threat data generated by the Advanced WildFire public clouds to maximize
coverage capability as well as protections and antivirus signatures produced through
file analysis.
