For Prisma Access, this is usually included with your
Prisma Access license.
WildFire logs contain information on samples (files
and email links) uploaded to the WildFire cloud for analysis. It
includes artifacts, which are properties, activities, or behaviors
associated with the logged event, such as the application type or
the IP address of an attacker as well as WildFire-specific qualities,
such as high-level analysis results including categorization of
the sample as malware, phishing, grayware, or benign and details sample
information. Reviewing the WildFire Submissions logs can also indicate
whether a user in your networks downloaded a suspicious file. The WildFire
analysis report displays detailed sample information, as well as
information on targeted users, email header information (if enabled),
the application that delivered the file, and all URLs involved in
the command-and-control activity of the file. It informs you if
the file is malicious, if it modified registry keys, read/wrote
into files, created new files, opened network communication channels,
caused application crashes, spawned processes, downloaded files,
or exhibited other malicious behavior.
WildFire logs are displayed as WildFire submissions logs on NGFW firewalls, while on Cloud
Management platforms, you must first configure log forwarding to upload relevant logs to
Strata Logging Service, which will then show the WildFire logs as threat logs
(type WildFire).

When WildFire analysis of a sample is complete, the results are
sent back to the firewall that submitted the sample and are accessible
in the WildFire Submissions logs. The submission logs include details
about a given sample, including the following information:
The Verdict column indicates whether the sample
is benign, malicious, phishing, or grayware.
The Action column indicates whether the firewall allowed
or blocked the sample.
The Severity column indicates how much of a threat a sample
poses to an organization using the following values: critical, high,
medium, low, and informational.
The values for the
following severity levels are determined by a combination of verdict
and action values.
Low—Grayware samples with the
action set to allow.
High—Malicious samples with the action set to allow.
Informational:
Benign samples with the action
set to allow.
Samples with any verdict with the action set to block.
For any entry, select the Log Details icon to open a
detailed log view for each entry:
The detailed
log view displays Log Info and the WildFire Analysis Report for
the entry. If the firewall has packet captures (PCAPs) enabled,
the sample PCAPs are also displayed.
For
all samples, the WildFire analysis report displays file and session
details. For malware samples, the WildFire analysis report is extended
to include details on the file attributes and behavior that indicated
the file was malicious.
