How often does WildFire release dynamic updates?

One thought on “How often does WildFire release dynamic updates?”

1. WildFire automatically delivers protections about every five minutes (by accessing a database that is updated every 5 minutes), thus preventing successful cyberattacks.

   Every 5 to 10 minutes a new version is published that contains updated categorization data and an incremented version number. Each time the Palo Alto Networks firewall sends a request to the cloud, it checks the current version number. If the number is different, the firewall upgrades the device’s version to the current cloud version. The primary purpose of the frequency of updates is to leverage native integration with WildFire, which creates new signatures and records malicious URLs every 5 minutes.

   WildFire: Available with a WildFire subscription, this update provides near-real-time malware and antivirus signatures created as a result of the analysis done by the WildFire cloud service. As a best practice, schedule the firewall to retrieve any WildFire updates every minute). If you have a Threat Prevention subscription and not a WildFire subscription, you must wait 24 to 48 hours for the WildFire signatures to be added into the antivirus update.
