WildFire South Africa Cloud
Palo Alto Networks now provides access to a WildFire regional cloud in South
Africa.
A new WildFire regional cloud is now available in South Africa. The WildFire South
Africa cloud provides the best of both worlds for Palo Alto Networks customers
located in South Africa — customers can now utilize the WildFire cloud-based threat
analysis and prevention engine, while ensuring that files submitted for analysis
stay in the country to address data location concerns. Note that certain metadata
connected to submitted samples, as described in the WildFire Privacy Datasheet, are shared
with our other regional clouds. While submissions stay within the borders of South
Africa, customers still benefit from the global security intelligence and updates
based on the network effect of Palo Alto Networks 42,000+ WildFire customers.
Sensitive data and submissions are restricted from leaving South Africa when using
the WildFire cloud threat analysis service. Samples submitted to the WildFire South
Africa cloud and the resulting malware analysis, signature generation and delivery
occur and remain within the borders of South Africa.
Any firewall with basic WildFire service enabled can forward
PE (portable executables) samples to the WildFire South Africa cloud for analysis,
while users with an active Advanced WildFire or standard WildFire subscription can
forward all supported file types. You can access the
WildFire South Africa portal using your support account credentials to manually
upload files for analysis and view WildFire analysis reports.
You can submit samples to the WildFire South Africa cloud from the WildFire
appliance, WildFire South Africa portal, through the WildFire API, and all Palo Alto
Networks platforms that support the WildFire security subscription integration.
