Explanation

WildFire real-time lookup allows unknown files to be analyzed immediately, but the resulting malware signatures must still be delivered to the firewall via Antivirus dynamic updates. By default, antivirus updates are scheduled every 24 hours. Increasing the frequency of antivirus updates (e.g., to every hour or every 30 minutes) ensures that newly discovered malware signatures from WildFire are pushed to the firewall as quickly as possible, closing the window during which a newly identified threat could still pass through. This directly complements real-time WildFire analysis.
