Why each option
Palo Alto Networks WildFire in PAN-OS 7.0 expanded its support to analyze a specific set of executable and document file types for advanced threat detection.
This option is too broad and not specific to the capabilities announced for PAN-OS 7.0; WildFire targets specific, high-risk file types rather than all files.
This option misses critical file types like Java applets and APK files that were explicitly added or emphasized for WildFire analysis in PAN-OS 7.0.
As of PAN-OS 7.0, WildFire significantly broadened its capabilities to include Portable Executable (PE) files (Windows executables), Microsoft Office documents, PDF documents, Java applets, Android Package Kit (APK) files, and Adobe Flash files for dynamic threat analysis. This expanded support covers a wide range of common attack vectors.
This option is incomplete, omitting several key file types like Java applets, APKs, and Flash that were part of the WildFire expansion in PAN-OS 7.0.
