Our company uses the solution for IDS and IPS functionality in the signature phase that includes vulnerability and antivirus plus file blocking in the DLP to some extent. The signature feed is sent to the firewall based on a schedule we configure. Intervals can go up to every five minutes where the firewall goes to the cloud to get the latest signature feeds. At the same time, there are mission learning capabilities on the firewall that categorize certain non-threats on ports and protocols as malicious traffic before creating the signature. We have 30 to 50 resources that use the solution throughout our company.

When you browse for this kind of list, you can easily upload it on Palo Alto without any difficulty.
