WildFire cloud-based threat analysis service is an advanced analysis and prevention engine for highly evasive zero-day malware and exploits. The cloud-based service employs a unique multi-technique approach combining dynamic and static analysis, innovative machine learning techniques, and a groundbreaking bare metal analysis environment to detect and prevent even the most evasive threats.

Features Summary

• Dynamic analysis
  Observes files as they detonate in a custom-build evasion resistant virtual environment, enabling detection of zero-day malware and exploits using hundreds of behavioral characteristics.
• Static analysis
  Highly effective detection of malware and exploits that attempt to evade dynamic analysis, as well as instantly identifying variants of existing malware.
• Machine learning
  Extracts thousands of unique features from each file, training a predictive machine learning classifier to identify new malware and exploits not possible with static or dynamic analysis alone.
• Bare metal analysis
  Evasive threats are automatically sent to a real hardware environment for detonation, entirely removing an adversary's ability to deploy anti-VM analysis techniques.
