Script sample support has
been expanded to include perl scripts. As with all other currently supported
script file types (JScript [.js], VBScript [.vbs], PowerShell Script
[.ps1], batch [.bat], and shell script files, the WildFire public
cloud can now analyze and classify perl scripts files with verdicts
using static and dynamic analysis. When a malicious perl script
is discovered, the WildFire cloud generates and distributes C2 and
DNS signatures to firewalls to prevent successful attacks. To ensure
that you are protected from the latest threats, always keep your
firewalls up-to-date with the latest content and software updates
from Palo Alto Networks.
