Explanation
The Palo Alto Networks DNS Security subscription uses a cloud-based, real-time signature database. Unlike traditional antivirus or threat prevention updates that require periodic content package downloads to the firewall, DNS Security queries the cloud database in real time for each DNS request. This means that when new malicious DNS signatures are added to the cloud database, they are available instantly - with no waiting period and no content update download required. This real-time cloud lookup model is the key architectural advantage of the DNS Security subscription over locally-cached signature databases.
