The subscription provides you with following advanced capabilities: WildFire adds the increasingly important ability to proactively identify and block unknown threats such as custom or polymorphic malware, which are commonly used in modern cyberattacks. The WildFire subscription provides integrated protection from advanced malware and threats. In addition, with the Portal license, gateways may also be deployed internally to protect local and wireless networks. For example, with a Portal license, you can deploy multiple external gateways in order to support users in different geographies. The GlobalProtect Portal license extends the range of coverage by enabling you to deploy GlobalProtect gateways in a greater number of configurations. In addition, users with mobile devices can use GlobalProtect apps for iOS and Android to connect to the next-generation firewall. With a GlobalProtect gateway subscription, you can apply the state of the endpoint device as part of the context for security policy using the Host Information Profile (HIP). It may be deployed in many different scenarios for extending the protection of your next-generation firewall to endpoints both within and outside of the organisation. GlobalProtect delivers consistent security to users in all locations. The URL filtering subscription includes continual updates to the URL filtering database, as well as problem resolution. The URL filtering subscription is not bound by any user limitations, which provides you with greater flexibility in terms of growth and more predictable operational expenses.

URL filtering is enabled through an annual subscription that provides you with a URL filtering database that controls web activity based on users through URL category level controls, or through customisable white- and black-lists. As a result, this critical subscription not only provides you with critical protection from threats, but also gives you important additional policy controls that keep your network secure. The Threat Prevention subscription even goes beyond simply blocking malicious content to include the control of specific file types by policy, as well as inspecting traffic for specific content to prevent data loss. This powerful subscription includes NSS recommended IPS functionality, stream-based blocking of millions of known malware samples, protection from spyware, command-and-control traffic, and a variety of hacking tools.

The Threat Prevention subscription adds integrated protection from a variety of network-borne threats including exploits, malware, dangerous files, and content.
