OneFirewall is not a firewall. It is the **real-time threat intelligence layer** that makes your existing Palo Alto, Check Point, Juniper (or any other) firewall act on live, crowd-sourced attack data — automatically. This page explains how threat intelligence capabilities compare across these vendors and why layering OneFirewall on top delivers measurably better protection. *** ## The Fundamental Difference Firewall vendors build excellent enforcement engines. Their threat intelligence, however, is limited to what their own customer telemetry and research labs can observe. OneFirewall operates on a fundamentally different model: **collective intelligence from 210+ global security centres**, validated in real time and pushed to your existing infrastructure. | | OneFirewall | Palo Alto Networks | Check Point | Juniper Networks | | --------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | | **Primary Function** | Dedicated Threat Intelligence Platform | Firewall + Bundled TI | Firewall + Bundled TI | Firewall + Bundled TI | | **TI Product** | World Crime Feeds (WCF) | WildFire / AutoFocus | ThreatCloud AI | SecIntel / ATP Cloud | | **Intelligence Model** | Crowd-sourced Alliance (210+ members) | Vendor telemetry (85K+ customers) | Vendor telemetry (150K+ networks) | Vendor telemetry (Juniper Threat Labs) | | **CTA Membership** | ✅ Full Member | ✅ Full Member | ✅ Full Member | ❌ Not a Member | | **Works With Any Firewall** | ✅ Vendor-agnostic | ❌ Palo Alto only | ❌ Check Point only | ❌ Juniper only | | **Deployment Model** | On-prem, Cloud, Hybrid | Cloud (SaaS) | Cloud (SaaS) | Cloud (SaaS) | *** ## Key Benchmark Metrics ### Intelligence Sourcing & Coverage | Metric | OneFirewall | Palo Alto | Check Point | Juniper | | ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------- | | **Intelligence Sources** | 210+ Alliance members + CTA + government agencies + security vendors | WildFire subscriber network + Unit 42 research | 150K connected networks + CP Research + external feeds | Juniper Threat Labs + ATP Cloud + third-party feeds | | **IoC Types Covered** | IPs, Domains, URLs, File Hashes | Files, IPs, URLs, DNS | IPs, Domains, URLs, Files | IPs, Domains, C\&C, GeoIP | | **STIX 2.1 Native** | ✅ | Partial | Partial | ❌ | | **MITRE ATT\&CK Mapping** | ✅ Per-indicator | Via Cortex XSOAR | Via ThreatCloud Graph | Limited | | **Crime Score / Risk Rating** | ✅ 0–1000 granular score | Binary (malicious/benign) | Confidence levels | Binary (block/allow) | ### Enforcement Speed | Metric | OneFirewall | Palo Alto | Check Point | Juniper | | --------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | | **Time to Block (new IoC)** | \< 30 seconds from first report across entire Alliance | Minutes (WildFire cloud analysis cycle) | Near real-time (ThreatCloud push) | Near real-time (SecIntel feed refresh) | | **Feed Refresh Interval** | Continuous (5-min EDL cycles for Check Point; real-time for WCF Agent) | Periodic (WildFire signature updates) | Continuous (ThreatCloud push) | Periodic (ATP Cloud sync) | | **Automated Enforcement** | ✅ No analyst required | ✅ Within ecosystem | ✅ Within ecosystem | ✅ Within ecosystem | ### Integration & Flexibility | Capability | OneFirewall | Palo Alto | Check Point | Juniper | | ------------------------------- | --------------------------- | ----------------------- | ------------------------- | --------------------- | | **Check Point Integration** | ✅ Native (SmartConsole EDL) | ❌ | ✅ Built-in | ❌ | | **Palo Alto Integration** | ✅ Native (EDL / MineMeld) | ✅ Built-in | ❌ | ❌ | | **Fortinet Integration** | ✅ Native (WCF Agent) | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | | **Juniper Integration** | ✅ Native (Custom Feed) | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ Built-in | | **AWS WAF** | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | | **GCP Cloud Armor** | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | | **Cisco / Sophos / Forcepoint** | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | | **API Access** | ✅ RESTful + STIX 2.1 | ✅ AutoFocus API | ✅ ThreatCloud API | ✅ ATP Cloud API | | **Total Supported Platforms** | 16+ | 1 (Palo Alto ecosystem) | 1 (Check Point ecosystem) | 1 (Juniper ecosystem) | *** ## What You Actually Get From Each ### Palo Alto Networks (WildFire + AutoFocus) Palo Alto's threat intelligence is deeply integrated into their own ecosystem. WildFire analyses files in a cloud sandbox and pushes signatures to Palo Alto firewalls. AutoFocus provides a searchable repository of threat indicators drawn from WildFire telemetry and Unit 42 research. Strengths include AI-powered malware analysis and a large customer base contributing telemetry. However, this intelligence is **locked to the Palo Alto ecosystem** — if you run a multi-vendor environment or want to enrich a non-Palo Alto firewall, you cannot use WildFire directly. ### Check Point (ThreatCloud AI) Check Point's ThreatCloud AI aggregates telemetry from 150,000+ connected networks and uses over 50 AI-powered engines to process indicators. It excels at graph-based analysis of relationships between domains, IPs, and URLs. Like Palo Alto, the intelligence **only feeds Check Point products** — it cannot natively enrich a Palo Alto or Fortinet device. ### Juniper Networks (SecIntel) Juniper's SecIntel delivers curated feeds from Juniper Threat Labs and ATP Cloud to SRX firewalls and MX routers. It supports C\&C, GeoIP, attacker IPs, and infected-host feeds. SecIntel has the advantage of extending enforcement to routing infrastructure. However, it is **limited to Juniper hardware** and is not a Cyber Threat Alliance member, meaning it does not benefit from cross-vendor shared intelligence. ### OneFirewall (World Crime Feeds) OneFirewall is purpose-built to solve the gap that firewall vendors leave open: **vendor-agnostic, real-time, crowd-sourced threat intelligence that works with whatever you already have**. The platform connects 210+ global security centres into a single collective intelligence network. When any member detects an attack, the indicator is validated, scored with a granular Crime Score (0–1000), mapped to MITRE ATT\&CK, and pushed to every connected firewall — regardless of vendor — in under 30 seconds. *** ## The Layering Advantage Most organisations already run one of the three firewall vendors above. The question is not "OneFirewall **or** Palo Alto" — it is "Palo Alto **plus** OneFirewall." | Scenario | Firewall Alone | Firewall + OneFirewall | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **New ransomware staging IP detected in Brazil** | Blocked only if your vendor's research lab has seen it | Blocked within 30 seconds across all Alliance members | | **Zero-day C\&C domain registered 2 hours ago** | Depends on vendor's feed update cycle | Collective detection triggers immediate block | | **Multi-vendor environment (e.g., Palo Alto perimeter + Fortinet branch)** | Each vendor operates in its own intelligence silo | Single intelligence feed enriches both simultaneously | | **Compliance audit (NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001)** | Vendor-specific logs | Unified enforcement log with timestamp, source, Crime Score, and confidence | *** ## Deployment at a Glance ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ OneFirewall Alliance │ │ 210+ Global Security Centres │ │ │ │ ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐ │ │ │ Member A │ │ Member B │ │ Member C │ ... │ │ └────┬─────┘ └────┬─────┘ └────┬─────┘ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ▼ ▼ ▼ │ │ ┌──────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ World Crime Feeds (WCF) Engine │ │ │ │ Validation · Crime Score · ATT&CK │ │ │ └──────────────┬───────────────────────┘ │ └──────────────────┼──────────────────────────────┘ │ ┌──────────┼──────────────┐ ▼ ▼ ▼ ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐ │Palo Alto │ │Check Point│ │ Fortinet │ ... + 13 more │ NGFW │ │ Quantum │ │FortiGate │ └──────────┘ └──────────┘ └──────────┘ Your existing infrastructure stays in place ``` *** ## Frequently Asked Questions ### "We already have Palo Alto WildFire — why do we need OneFirewall?" WildFire is excellent at file-based malware analysis within the Palo Alto ecosystem. OneFirewall adds a layer that WildFire cannot provide: **crowd-sourced IP/domain/URL intelligence from 210+ organisations outside the Palo Alto customer base**, validated in real time and pushed directly to your firewall. These are two complementary capabilities, not competing ones. ### "Doesn't Check Point ThreatCloud already aggregate external feeds?" ThreatCloud aggregates feeds from Check Point Research and selected external sources. OneFirewall provides intelligence from a different axis entirely — **live, reciprocal sharing between 210+ security centres** across industries and geographies, with each member both contributing and consuming. This collective model surfaces threats that no single-vendor research team can observe alone. ### "Is this a rip-and-replace?" No. OneFirewall sits **on top of** your existing firewall. The WCF Agent integrates natively with your current security infrastructure. No hardware changes, no policy migration, no retraining required. ### "What about data sovereignty?" OneFirewall shares only anonymised threat indicators. Your logs, user data, and internal traffic remain entirely on-premises. Full intelligence, full sovereignty. *** ## Summary | | Firewall Vendor TI | OneFirewall | | ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Best at** | Deep analysis within their own ecosystem | Cross-vendor, cross-industry collective intelligence | | **Limitation** | Locked to one vendor; single-perspective telemetry | Does not replace your firewall — requires one to enforce | | **Intelligence model** | Vendor-centric (one research lab) | Alliance-centric (210+ contributing members) | | **Deployment effort** | Already included with firewall licence | WCF Agent install (minutes); no infrastructure changes | | **Result** | Good baseline protection | Elevated, real-time, crowd-sourced protection on top of your existing baseline | **The strongest security posture is not choosing between your firewall vendor and OneFirewall.
