OOXML Support for WildFire Inline ML

Palo Alto Networks® WildFire® now supports OOXML (Open Office XML) files for WildFire Inline ML.
Palo Alto Networks® WildFire® now supports a new office file type analysis classification engine for WildFire Inline ML: OOXML (Open Office XML). This enables you to configure your NGFW to detect and prevent malicious Office Open XML files from entering your network in real-time by applying machine learning (ML) analytics. WildFire Inline ML dynamically detects malicious files of specific types by evaluating various file details to formulate a high probability classification of a file. This protection extends to currently unknown as well as future variants of threats which match characteristics that Palo Alto Networks identifies as malicious. To take advantage of WildFire inline ML, you must have an active WildFire subscription. If you do not have WildFire Inline ML enabled on your firewall, refer to WildFire Inline ML for more information.
To access the new OOXML (Open Office XML) file analysis classification engine for WildFire Inline ML, be sure to download and install the latest content release package. Applications and Threat content release 8825 and later allows NGFWs operating on supported platforms to detect and prevent malicious OOXML files from entering your network in real-time using Inline ML. For more information about the update, refer to the Applications and Threat Content Release Notes.
To download the release notes, log in to the Palo Alto Networks Support Portal, click Dynamic Updates and select the release notes listed under Apps + Threats.
