The Advanced WildFire cloud now supports forwarding, analysis, and prevention of
threats contained in EML (email message) files.
Palo Alto Networks® WildFire® now
supports forwarding, analysis, and prevention of
threats contained in email message files (EML). EML files are used to
store email message contents and typically includes the entirety of a single email
in plain text format. Because this includes all contents of the email (including the
email headers, message body, attachments, and other MIME components), any malicious
contents that can be delivered using those vectors are analyzed by the Advanced
WildFire cloud for threats.
When a malicious file is discovered, the Advanced WildFire cloud
generates and distributes protections to prevent future successful attacks. To
ensure that you are protected from the latest threats, always download and install
the latest content and software updates from Palo Alto Networks.
To forward EML files for analysis, the
WildFire Analysis
Profile must be
configured to forward the eml file type.
You can also select any
Any to forward all supported unknown files to the
Advanced WildFire cloud for analysis.
