Script sample support has
been expanded to include perl scripts. As with all other currently
supported script file types (JScript [.js], VBScript [.vbs], PowerShell
Script [.ps1], batch [.bat], and shell script files, the WildFire
public cloud can now analyze and classify perl scripts files with
verdicts using static and dynamic analysis. When a malicious perl
script is discovered, the WildFire cloud generates and distributes
C2 and DNS signatures to firewalls to prevent successful attacks.
To ensure that you are protected from the latest threats, always
keep your firewalls up-to-date with the latest content and software
updates from Palo Alto Networks.
