Firewall SMB support now includes
SMBv3 (3.0, 3.0.2, and 3.1.1) and has additional threat detection
and file identification capabilities, performance, and reliability
across all versions of SMB. These improvements provide an additional
layer of
security for networks,
such as data center deployments, network segments, and internal
networks by allowing files transmitted using SMB to be forwarded
to WildFire for analysis. Because of the way that SMBv3 multi-channel
works in splitting up files, customers should disable the use of
multi-channel file transfer for maximum protection and inspection of
files. As a result, Palo Alto Networks recommends disabling SMB multi-channel
through the Windows PowerShell. For more information on this task,
