Re: Firewall Solution

["Di Fabio, Andrea" <adifabio () NSU EDU>]

We use it here and it has greatly helped us with visibility over malware as
well as  track and eradicate otherwise invisible malware. As Rand  said, you
can see the whole process, from the initial download, to the connection to
the C&C servers. Additionally, our other IPS confirm the malicious traffic
after the infection and out enterprise AV console either shows problems or
shows the host as dropped from the management console.

Are any of the people using PA running the wildfire subscription. We are
curious, how the results are in real world performance to see whether it
