Re: Firewall Solution

[Alan Nord <anord () MACALESTER EDU>]

We just have the basic (included) functionality.  For us the normal updates
through threat prevention are often enough.

Licensing Information:
Basic WildFire functionality is available to all Palo Alto Networks
customers at no charge. These users can automatically submit
suspicious files to WildFire and protections are delivered with
regular threat prevention content updates (threat prevention
license is required). An additional WildFire license provides
WildFire protection within 1 hour of new malware being detected
anywhere in the world, integrated logging/reporting; access to
WildFire API for programmatic submission of up to 100 samples
per day and up to 1,000 report queries by file hash per day.
