To ensure that you’re always protected from the latest threats, including those that
haven’t yet been discovered, you must ensure that you keep your firewalls up to date
with the latest content and software updates published by Palo Alto Networks.
To install the latest Antivirus, Applications and Threats, and WildFire dynamic
content updates on your firewalls, you can schedule a recurring update schedule to
specify which dynamic content update to install. A Dynamic Update schedule can be
configured at the snippet, folder, or firewall level. A Dynamic Update schedule
created at the folder level is inherited by all nested folders and associated
firewalls but can be modified for the nested folder or individual firewall.
