    Scan 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.
    Configure options to have your configuration scan for malware on the defined traffic. Set the applications that should be inspected for malware and the action to take when malware is detected. The default profile inspects all of the listed protocol decoders for malware, generates alerts for Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP), Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP), and Post Office Protocol Version 3 (POP3), and takes the default action for other applications (alert or deny), depending on the type of malware detected. The profile will then be attached to a Security rule to determine the traffic traversing specific zones that will be inspected. Customized profiles can be used to minimize antivirus inspection for traffic between trusted security zones, and to maximize the inspection of traffic received from untrusted zones, such as the internet, as well as the traffic sent to highly sensitive destinations, such as server farms.
    1. Go to
      Manage
      Configuration
      NGFW and Prisma Access
      Security Services
      Wildfire and Antivirus
      .
    2. Add Profile
      .
    3. Give your profile a
      Name
       that tells other administrators what it does.
    4. Give a
      Description
       of the purpose of this profile for easy reference and reuse later.
    5. On the
      Enforcement Actions
       panel, specify the decoder action for each protocol.
      The actions for each protocol will be common for WildFire signatures, antivirus signatures, and WildFire Inline Machine Learning.
    6. Select the checkbox for
      Packet Capture
       if you want to take packet captures (pcaps) of traffic that traverses your configuration.
      You can then use the captured data for troubleshooting purposes or creating custom application signatures.
    7. (
      Optional
      )
      Add Exceptions
       on the Advanced Settings tab:
      • Add
        Signature Exceptions
         to exclude specific signatures from enforcement.
      • Add
        File Exceptions
         to exclude files from WildFire Inline ML, based on a partial hash.
      • Add
        Application Exceptions
         to override the default WildFire/Antivirus action for specific applications.
    8. (
      Optional
      ) On the
      WildFire Inline Machine Learning Models
       tab, set the action for each model.
    9. Save
       your configuration.
      An Antivirus profile is only active when it’s included in a profile group that a Security policy rule references. Follow the steps to activate an Antivirus profile (and any Security profile).
