The WildFire public cloud now globally distributes virus and DNS signatures every five minutes to Palo Alto Networks firewalls. This quick distribution enables firewalls with a WildFire subscription to detect and block threats within minutes of discovery. With earlier PAN-OS release versions, WildFire updates are made available every fifteen minutes.

A Palo Alto Networks firewall can now automatically forward Mac OS X files for WildFire analysis. The minimum content release version required to support this feature is 582.
