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.
