Preventing known malware from transferring while real-time signature lookups are underway often introduces a window of risk. If you have an active WildFire® or Advanced WildFire license, Prisma® Access now supports WildFire Hold Mode to immediately address this risk. Hold Mode enables you to configure Prisma® Access to hold the transfer of a sample file while the real-time signature cloud performs a signature lookup. When the lookup completes, Prisma Access releases the file to the requesting client (or blocks it, based on your organization's security policy for specific WildFire verdicts, preventing the initial transfer of known malware. You can configure Hold Mode on a per antivirus profile basis and apply a global setting for the signature lookup timeout and the associated action.
