Palo Alto Networks AutoFocus vs. VirusTotal

Analytics, Threat Hunting and detailed investigations for the security incidents are the main use cases. Automation on the cloud based on the feeds through the minemeld is another use case. When you deploy PAN on perimeter, Autofocus gives you a temendaous value. If you have non PAN firewall/products running Auto focus doe not make sense.

VirusTotal is perfectly suited as a tool to help security professionals analyze files and URLs that require further analysis to determine security risks in the environment. It truly is a must-have in this world we live in!

• I'm not sure VirusTotal can improve this themselves but just keeping up with the evolving "known" threat landscape is tough so even though VirusTotal is very good, nothing is 100% effective in this space.

If you have Palo Alto, autofocus is the selected choice. If you have Checkpoint than the threat cloud. Price of autofocus is much cheaper. Unit42 is the real differentiator. Minemeld is unique to PAN and working perfectly. Search outputs and are detailed and gives lots of data. Integration with SOAR is much easier with autofocus. Indicator list is huge. Tagging works magnificent.
