Cloud NGFW uses your rulestack definitions to protect your Azure Virtual Network (VNet) traffic by a two-step process. First, it enforces your rules to allow or deny your traffic. Second, it performs content inspection on the allowed traffic (URLs, threats, files) based on what you specify on the Security Profiles. Additionally, it helps you define how Cloud NGFW should scan the allowed traffic and block threats such as malware, malware, spyware, and DDoS attacks.

IPS and Spyware Threat Protection

IPS Vulnerability—(enabled by default and preconfigured based on best practices) an intrusion prevention system (IPS) vulnerability profile stops attempts to exploit system flaws or gain unauthorized access to systems. While antispyware profiles help identify infected hosts as traffic leaves the network, IPS Vulnerability profiles protect against threats entering the network. For example, Vulnerability Protection profiles help protect against buffer overflows, illegal code execution, and other attempts to exploit system vulnerabilities. The default Vulnerability Protection profile protects clients and servers from all known critical, high, and medium-severity threats.

Best practice configuration

The following Vulnerability best practice configuration is enabled by default on Cloud NGFW for Azure.

Signature Severity	Action
Critical	Reset both

IPS Vulnerability and antispyware signatures

The following table lists all possible signatures for the Vulnerability and spyware categories. These signatures are continuously updated on your NGFWs.

Threat Category	Description
Vulnerability signatures
Brute-force	A brute-force signature detects multiple occurrences of a condition in a particular time frame. While the activity in isolation might be benign, the brute-force signature indicates that the frequency and rate at which the activity occurred is suspect. For example, a single FTP login failure does not indicate malicious activity. However, many failed FTP logins in a short period likely indicate an attacker attempting password combinations to access an FTP server.
code execution	Detects a code execution vulnerability that an attacker can leverage to run code on a system with the privileges of the logged-in user.
code-obfuscation	Detects code that has been transformed to conceal certain data while retaining its function. Obfuscated code is difficult or impossible to read, so it's not apparent what commands the code is executing or with which programs it's designed to interact. Most commonly, malicious actors obfuscate code to conceal malware. More rarely, legitimate developers might obfuscate code to protect privacy, intellectual property, or to improve user experience. For example, certain types of obfuscation (like minification) reduce file size, which decreases website load times and bandwidth usage.
DoS	Detects a denial-of-service attack, where an attacker attempts to render a targeted system unavailable, temporarily disrupting the system and dependent applications and services. To perform a DoS attack, an attacker might flood a targeted system with traffic or send information that causes it to fail. DoS attacks deprive legitimate users (like employees, members, and account holders) of the service or resource to which they expect access.
exploit-kit	Detects an exploit kit landing page. Exploit kit landing pages often contain several exploits that target one or many Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), for multiple browsers and plugins. Because the targeted CVEs change quickly, exploit-kit signatures trigger based on the exploit kit landing page, and not the CVEs. When a user visits a website with an exploit kit, the exploit kit scans for the targeted CVEs and attempts to silently deliver a malicious payload to the victim’s computer.
info-leak	Detects a software vulnerability that an attacker could exploit to steal sensitive or proprietary information. Often, an info-leak might exist because comprehensive checks don’t exist to guard the data, and attackers can exploit info-leaks by sending crafted requests.
insecure-credentials	Detects the use of weak, compromised, and manufacturer default passwords for software, network appliances, and IoT devices.
Overflow	Detects an overflow vulnerability, where a lack of proper checks on requests could be exploited by an attacker. A successful attack could lead to remote code execution with the privileges of the application, server, or operating system.
phishing	Detects when a user attempts to connect to a phishing kit landing page (likely after receiving an email with a link to the malicious site). A phishing website tricks users into submitting credentials that an attacker can steal to gain access to the network.
protocol-anomaly	Detects protocol anomalies, where a protocol behavior deviates from standard and compliant usage. For example, a malformed packet, a poorly written application, or an application running on a nonstandard port would all be considered protocol anomalies, and could be used as evasion tools.
sql-injection	Detects a common hacking technique where an attacker inserts SQL queries into an application’s requests to read from or modify a database. This type of technique is often used on websites that don’t comprehensively sanitize user input.
Spyware signatures
Spyware	Detect outbound C2 communication. These signatures are either autogenerated or are manually created by Palo Alto Networks researchers. Spyware and autogen signatures both detect outbound C2 communication; however, autogen signatures are payload-based and can uniquely detect C2 communications with C2 hosts that are unknown or change rapidly.
adware	Detects programs that display potentially unwanted advertisements. Some adware modifies browsers to highlight and hyperlink the most frequently searched keywords on web pages-these links redirect users to advertising websites. Adware can also retrieve updates from a command and control (C2) server and install those updates in a browser or onto a client system.
autogen	These payload-based signatures detect command and control (C2) traffic and are autogenerated. Importantly, autogen signatures can detect C2 traffic even when the C2 host is unknown or changes rapidly.
Backdoor	Detects a program that allows an attacker to gain unauthorized remote access to a system.
Botnet	Indicates botnet activity. A botnet is a network of malware-infected computers (“bots”) that an attacker controls. The attacker can centrally command every computer in a botnet to simultaneously carry out a coordinated action (like launching a DoS attack, for example).
browser-hijack	Detects a plugin or software that’s modifying browser settings. A browser hijacker might take over auto search or track users’ web activity and send this information to a C2 server.
cryptominer	(Sometimes known as cryptojacking or miners) Detects the download attempt or network traffic generated from malicious programs designed to use computing resources to mine cryptocurrencies without the user's knowledge. Cryptominer binaries are frequently delivered by a shell script downloader that attempts to determine system architecture and kill other miner processes on the system. Some miners execute within other processes, such as a web browser rendering a malicious webpage.
data-theft	Detects a system sending information to a known C2 server.
DNS	Detects DNS requests to connect to malicious domains.
downloader	(Also known as droppers, stagers, or loaders) Detects programs that use an internet connection to connect to a remote server to download and execute malware on the compromised system. The most common use case is to deploy a downloader as the culmination of stage one of a cyberattack, where the downloader’s fetched payload execution is the second stage. Shell scripts (Bash, PowerShell, etc.), Trojans, and malicious lure documents (also known as mallocs) such as PDFs and Word files are common downloader types.
fraud	(Including formjacking, phishing, and scams) Detects access to compromised websites that have been injected with malicious JavaScript code to collect sensitive user information. (For example, Name, address, email, credit card number, CVV, expiration date) from payment forms that are captured on the checkout pages of e-commerce websites.
hack tool	Detects traffic generated by software tools used by malicious actors to conduct reconnaissance, attack or gain access to vulnerable systems, exfiltrate data, or create a command and control channel to surreptitiously control a computer system without authorization. These programs are associated with malware and cyberattacks. Hacking tools might be deployed in a benign manner when used in Red and Blue Team operations, penetration tests, and R&D. The use or possession of these tools may be illegal in some countries, regardless of intent.
networm	Detects a program that self-replicates and spreads from system to system. Net-worms might use shared resources or leverage security failures to access target systems.
phishing-kit	Detects when a user attempts to connect to a phishing kit landing page (likely after receiving an email with a link to the malicious site). A phishing website tricks users into submitting credentials that an attacker can steal to gain access to the network.
post-exploitation	Detects activity that indicates the post-exploitation phase of an attack, where an attacker attempts to assess the value of a compromised system. This might include evaluating the sensitivity of the data stored on the system, and the system’s usefulness in further compromising the network.
Webshell	Detects web shells and web shell traffic, including implant detection and command and control interaction. Web shells must first be implanted by a malicious actor onto the compromised host, most often targeting a web server or framework. Subsequent communication with the web shell file frequently enables a malicious actor to establish a foothold in the system, conduct service and network enumeration, data exfiltration, and remote code execution in the context of the web server user. The most common web shell types are PHP, .NET, and Perl markup scripts. Attackers can also use web shell-infected web servers (the web servers can be both internet-facing or internal systems) to target other internal systems.
Keylogger	Detects programs that allow attackers to secretly track user activity, by logging keystrokes and capturing screenshots. Keyloggers use various C2 methods to periodically send logs and reports to a predefined e-mail address or a C2 server. Through keylogger surveillance, an attacker could retrieve credentials that would enable network access.

Malware and File-based Threat Protection

Antivirus—(enabled by default and preconfigured based on best practices) antivirus profiles protect against malware, worms, and Trojans as well as spyware downloads. Using a stream-based malware prevention engine, which inspects traffic the moment the first packet is received, the Palo Alto Networks antivirus solution can provide protection for clients without significantly impacting the performance of the firewall. This profile scans for a wide variety of malware in executables, PDF files, HTML and JavaScript malware, including support for scanning inside compressed files and data encoding schemes.

Best practice configuration

The following Antivirus best practice configuration is enabled by default on Cloud NGFW for Azure.

File blocking—(enabled by default and preconfigured based on best practices) file blocking profiles allows you to identify specific file types that you want to block or monitor. The firewall uses file blocking profiles to block specific file types over specified applications and in the specified session flow direction (inbound/outbound/both). You can set the profile to alert or block on upload and/or download and you can specify which applications will be subject to the file blocking profile.
- Alert—when the specified file type is detected, a log is generated in the data filtering log.
- Block—when the specified file type is detected, the file is blocked. A log is also generated in the data filtering log.

All other URL categories	Alert	Alert

Predefined URL categories for Cloud NGFW for Azure

The following table describes the predefined URL categories available on Cloud NGFW on Azure. You can use these categories in security rules to block or allows access to websites that fall into them.

URL Category	Description
Risk Categories
High Risk	Sites that were previously confirmed to be malicious but have displayed benign activity for at least 30 days. Sites hosted on bulletproof ISPs or using an IP from an ASN that has known malicious content. Sites sharing a domain with a known malicious site. All sites in the “Unknown” category will be high risk.
Medium Risk	Sites confirmed to be malicious but have displayed benign activity for at least 60 days. All sites in the “Online Storage and Backup” category will be a medium risk by default.
Low Risk	Any site that isn’t High Risk or medium risk. This includes sites that were previously confirmed as malicious but have displayed benign activity for at least 90 days.
Threat Categories
Command-and-control	Command-and-control URLs and domains used by malware and/or compromised systems to surreptitiously communicate with an attacker's remote server to receive malicious commands or exfiltrate data.
Malware	Sites known to host malware or used for command and control (C2) traffic. May also exhibit Exploit Kits.
Threat Adjacent Categories
Dynamic DNS	Hosts and domain names for systems with dynamically assigned IP addresses and which are oftentimes used to deliver malware payloads or C2 traffic. Also, dynamic DNS domains don’t go through the same vetting process as domains that are registered by a reputable domain registration company, and are therefore less trustworthy.
Grayware	Web content that does not pose a direct security threat but that displays other obtrusive behavior and tempt the end user to grant remote access or perform other unauthorized actions. Grayware includes illegal activities, criminal activities, rogue ware, adware, and other unwanted or unsolicited applications, such as embedded crypto miners, clickjacking, or hijackers that change the elements of the browser. Typosquatting domains that don’t exhibit maliciousness and are not owned by the targeted domain are categorized as grayware.
Hacking	Sites relating to the illegal or questionable access to or the use of communications equipment or software. Development and distribution of programs, how-to-advice and/or tips that may result in the compromise of networks and systems. Also includes sites that facilitate the bypass of licensing and digital rights systems.
Phishing	Web content that covertly attempts to fool the user to harvest information, including login credentials, credit card information–voluntarily or involuntarily, account numbers, PINs, and any information considered to be personally identifiable information (PII) from victims via social engineering techniques. Technical scam and scareware are also included as phishing.
Suspicious
Insufficient Content	Websites and services that present test pages, no content, provide API access not intended for end-user display or require authentication without displaying any other content suggesting a different categorization. Should not include websites providing remote access, such as web-based VPN solutions, web-based email services or identified credential phishing pages.
Newly Registered Domain	Newly registered domains are often generated purposely or by domain generation algorithms and used for malicious activity.
Parked	Domains registered by individuals are oftentimes later found to be used for credential phishing. These domains are similar to legitimate domains, for example, pal0alto0netw0rks.com, with the intent of phishing for credentials or personal identifying information. Or, they are domains that individual purchases rights to in hopes that it may be valuable someday, such as panw.net.
Proxy Avoidance and Anonymizers	URLs and services are often used to bypass content filtering products.
Unknown	Sites that have not yet been identified by Palo Alto Networks. If availability is critical to your business and you must allow the traffic, alert on unknown sites, apply the best practice Security Profiles to the traffic, and investigate the alerts.
