What type of protection does WildFire primarily provide?

WildFire primarily provides threat prevention and malware analysis, which is essential for identifying and mitigating advanced cyber threats, particularly those from unknown malware. It functions as a cloud-based service that analyzes files to determine if they are malicious or benign. When a file is sent to WildFire, it undergoes extensive behavioral analysis in a secure environment to observe its actions, thereby helping organizations detect emerging threats that may not be caught by traditional signature-based security systems.

This capability is crucial because cyber attackers often use new or variant malware that can evade standard detection techniques. By utilizing WildFire to analyze and classify these files in real time, organizations can better protect their networks and endpoints from potential breaches and advanced persistent threats.

Other options address different aspects of cybersecurity protection, such as data leakage protection, which focuses on preventing unauthorized data transmission; network intrusion detection, where systems monitor and analyze network traffic for suspicious activity; and endpoint firewall management, which deals with securing end-user devices. While these are important components of a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy, they do not directly relate to WildFire's primary function of malware analysis and threat prevention.
