The other security profiles detect and block known threats.
WildFire protects the data center from
unknown
threats.
Configure the firewall to
forward all unknown files to WildFire for analysis using
the predefined default profile. Unknown threats can hide in many
different file types and successful attacks may not be detected
until long after they have done damage. For example, WildFire can
identify malware loaded onto a staging server before the attacker
can do damage and find vulnerability scanners and lateral movement
assistance tools before attackers achieve their goals. WildFire
could have prevented a number of large-scale enterprise breaches over
the past several years. Any security policy rule that controls traffic
that has, will have, or could have file transfer activity should
include an enabled WildFire Analysis profile.
