Enable the WF-500 appliance to automatically submit malware samples to the WildFire public cloud. The WildFire public cloud further analyzes the malware and generates a signature to identify the sample. The signature is then added to WildFire signature updates, and distributed to global users to prevent future exposure to the threat. If you do not want to forward malware samples outside of your network, you can instead choose to submit only WildFire reports for the malware discovered on your network, in order to contribute to and refine WildFire statistics and threat intelligence.

If the firewall that originally submitted the sample for WildFire private cloud analysis has packet captures (PCAPs) enabled, the PCAPs for the malware will also be forwarded to the WildFire public cloud. |

If you have enabled the WF-500 appliance to automatically submit malware to the WildFire public cloud, you do not need to enable this option—the WildFire public cloud will generate a new analysis report for the sample. |
