Why each option
Palo Alto Networks publishes new and modified threat signatures and modified application signatures on an hourly basis to ensure firewalls have the latest protections against emerging threats and accurate application identification.
Daily updates are not frequent enough given the rapid pace of new threats and application changes, which demand more immediate protection.
Monthly updates are far too infrequent for effective threat prevention in a modern threat landscape, where threats can emerge and spread within hours.
