Wildfire Analysis? Sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie. I'll stick with the good old DNS Sinkholing.

I'm not sure about the other options, but DNS Proxy sounds like it could also work by intercepting and controlling the DNS traffic.

DNS Sinkholing seems like the obvious choice here. It redirects the malware's attempt to connect to the C&C server to a benign destination, effectively blocking the connection.
