09 September 2022	Effective February 1, 2023, all submissions from Proofpoint integration will be counted against daily WildFire API limits. This change affects only Proofpoint integration through the WildFire API. It does not affect any WildFire file submissions via other Palo Alto Networks products, such as the NGFW platform, Prisma, or Cortex. WildFire API file submissions and queries have a default daily limit. To address the needs of customers that require higher usage limits, Palo Alto Networks introduced the WildFire API SKU to allow customers to purchase higher limits on Nov 2, 2021. Please consult Palo Alto Networks support site to view your organization’s current WildFire API limits and usage to determine if you will need to purchase additional WildFire API capacity for your ongoing Proofpoint integration usage. Please contact your Palo Alto Networks account team if you have further questions.
01 September 2022	Effective October 1, 2022, the cloud-delivered WildFire malware analysis service will no longer operate a dynamic analysis environment that replicates Microsoft Windows XP 32-bit. WildFire uses a variety of malware detection techniques to provide the same capability and ensure that this change will not affect the detection of Windows XP-based malware. This change does not apply to the WF-500 or WF-500-B appliances. Please contact your Palo Alto Networks account team if you have further questions.
