Advanced WildFire

Stop zero-day malware with Precision AI

Cloud-based malware prevention engine uses inline machine learning, static analysis, and dynamic analysis to detect and block zero-day malware and highly evasive threats before they reach target systems.

Request Information

Cloud-powered malware prevention at scale

Advanced WildFire provides malware prevention through cloud-based analysis that combines inline machine learning, static analysis, and dynamic analysis to detect known and unknown file-based threats.

Inline machine learning detection

Lightweight ML models deployed on firewalls detect malware variants in real time without requiring cloud analysis.

Multi-technique analysis

Static, dynamic, and advanced dynamic analysis techniques identify malicious behavior in evasive threats.

Global signature distribution

Content signatures prevent malware variants across networks, clouds, and endpoints within seconds of analysis.

Precision AI malware detection

Machine learning, deep learning, and generative AI models analyze threat data from global deployments to identify and block zero-day malware and highly evasive threats.

AI-powered threat analysis

Advanced WildFire analyzes millions of threat samples using Precision AI models trained on diverse datasets from global deployments. These models identify malicious patterns in file behavior, code structure, and execution characteristics to detect zero-day threats before they reach endpoints.

The combination of machine learning, deep learning, and generative AI enables real-time malware detection across hundreds of file types with minimal false positives.

AI Data Set Analysis

Machine learning

Recognizes patterns and efficiently handles large structured datasets at scale to analyze and block malicious threats.

Deep learning

Automates feature learning and efficiently handles unstructured datasets at scale to identify abstract patterns and detect evolving threats.

Generative AI

Creates human-like content such as text and images, which models are trained on, to identify AI-generated threats.

Precision AI Components

How Precision AI delivers real-time protection

Precision AI leverages machine learning, deep learning and generative AI to analyze rich and diverse threat data to deliver real-time protection for the entire network.

Detect and prevent in real time

Analyze real network traffic inline and instantly stop known, unknown and highly evasive threats to prevent patient zero.

Improved accuracy

Consistently delivered everywhere

Comprehensive and real-time protection from evolving malware delivered consistently via a robust global infrastructure.

Protection at Scale

Protection at scale through multi-technique analysis

Multiple analysis techniques identify malicious behavior in files across all threat vectors to detect zero-day malware and highly evasive threats.

Advanced WildFire provides comprehensive malware detection through multiple analysis engines that examine files using different techniques to identify known and unknown threats.

  • Static analysis: Examines file characteristics using machine learning and deep learning
  • Dynamic analysis: Observes file behavior in evasion-resistant virtual environment
  • Advanced dynamic analysis: Captures malicious behavior through intelligent runtime memory analysis
  • Inline cloud analysis: Real-time verdict delivery for patient zero protection

Evasion-resistant threat detection

Advanced WildFire uses custom-built hypervisor and intelligent runtime memory analysis to detect highly evasive malware that attempts to avoid detection in traditional sandbox environments.

Malware prevention capabilities

Advanced WildFire provides comprehensive malware detection across all file types and attack vectors.

Comprehensive file type support

Analysis engines support all common file types that deliver malware payloads.

  • Portable Executable files including EXE and DLL
  • Microsoft Office file types and PDF documents
  • Mac OS X files and Linux ELF files
  • Android APK files and mobile threats
  • Archive files including RAR and 7-Zip
  • Script files including PowerShell and JavaScript

Evasion technique detection

Multiple capabilities identify threats that attempt to evade sandbox detection.

  • Stealthy observation through custom hypervisor architecture
  • Automated unpacking for complete payload visibility
  • Dependency emulation satisfies external malware requirements
  • Intelligent runtime memory analysis captures malicious activity
  • Malware family fingerprinting correlates new threats
  • Anti-analysis technique detection monitors evasion attempts

Signature-based prevention

Content signatures protect against malware variants without requiring hash updates.

  • Content signatures prevent millions of polymorphic variants
  • Global signature distribution within seconds of analysis
  • MITRE ATT&CK framework mappings for threat context
  • Malware configuration extraction for intelligence gathering
  • Integration with threat prevention and URL filtering services
