Palo Alto Networks offers customers the Advanced WildFire Public Sector Cloud, a high-security malware analysis platform that conforms to FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) moderate certification standards. The Advanced WildFire Public Sector Cloud replaces the WildFire U.S. Government Cloud.

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.

Bare Metal Analysis is not supported by Advanced WildFire U.S. Government cloud regions.
The Advanced WildFire U.S. Public Sector cloud region cannot be accessed through the WildFire portal.
