The WildFire public cloud can now analyze Dalvik executable (DEX) files with malicious, benign, or grayware verdicts. Individual DEX files not forwarded by the firewall to Wildfire for analysis. Instead, DEX files can be uploaded for analysis using the WildFire API or the WildFire portal (With a WildFire subscription, you can manually and programmatically submit a daily total of 1,000 files). DEX files contained within APK files are analyzed as part of the APK file analysis. As with all malicious samples, the WildFire public cloud generates and distributes a signature to firewalls to prevent future instances of the file from penetrating your network. Signatures generated by DEX file analysis are matched against DEX files passing through the firewall, as well as those contained within APK files. No additional configuration needs to be made in order to take advantage of his feature.
