Explanation

WildFire is Palo Alto Networks' cloud-based threat intelligence and sandboxing service. It performs both static analysis (examining file characteristics and code) and dynamic analysis (executing files in an isolated virtual environment) to detect unknown malware, zero-day exploits, and APTs. DNS Security focuses on malicious domain protection, URL Filtering categorizes and controls web traffic, and Threat Prevention (IPS) detects known exploits and command-and-control traffic - none of these perform sandbox-based dynamic analysis of unknown threats.
