WildFire Taiwan Cloud

A new WildFire regional cloud is now available in Taiwan. The WildFire Taiwan cloud provides the best of both worlds for Palo Alto Networks customers located in Taiwan — customers can now utilize the WildFire cloud-based threat analysis and prevention engine, while ensuring that files submitted for analysis stay in the country to address data location concerns. Note that certain metadata connected to submitted samples, as described in the WildFire Privacy Datasheet, are shared with our other regional clouds. While submissions stay within Taiwan’s borders, customers still benefit from the global security intelligence and updates based on the network effect of Palo Alto Networks 42,000+ WildFire customers. Sensitive data and submissions are restricted from leaving Taiwan when using the WildFire cloud threat analysis service. Samples submitted to the WildFire Taiwan cloud and the resulting malware analysis, signature generation and delivery occur and remain within Taiwanese borders.

Any firewall with basic WildFire service enabled can forward PE (portable executables) samples to the WildFire Taiwan cloud for analysis, while users with an active Advanced WildFire or standard WildFire subscription can forward all supported file types. You can access the WildFire Taiwan portal using your support account credentials to manually upload files for analysis and view WildFire analysis reports.

You can submit samples to the WildFire Taiwan cloud from the WildFire appliance, WildFire Taiwan portal, through the WildFire API, and all Palo Alto Networks platforms that support the WildFire security subscription integration.
