PAN-DB
—A Palo Alto Networks developed URL filtering
database that is tightly integrated into PAN-OS and the Palo Alto
Networks threat intelligence cloud. PAN-DB provides high-performance
local caching for maximum inline performance on URL lookups, and
offers coverage against malicious URLs and IP addresses. As WildFire,
which is a part of the Palo Alto Networks threat intelligence cloud,
identifies unknown malware, zero-day exploits, and advanced persistent
threats (APTs), the PAN-DB database is updated with information
on malicious URLs so that you can block malware downloads, and disable
Command and Control (C2) communications to protect your network
from cyber threats. The URL categories malware and phishing are
updated every five minutes, to ensure that you can manage access
to these sites within minutes of categorization.
