Hillstone Security Management
Sunnyvale, California, United States
What it is
Hillstone Security Management (HSM) centralizes security operations, SD-WAN management, and ZTNA control. It manages Hillstone NGFW, NIPS, ADC, and WAF devices, and can monitor third-party devices through SNMP. Administrators can check device status, resource use, and licenses, as well as manage configurations, firmware, and signature upgrades. HSM also manages ZTNA gateways and distributes policy packages and device-specific policies. For SD-WAN, it supports zero-touch provisioning, VPN overlays in hub-and-spoke or mesh topologies, and traffic steering based on applications, policies, and network conditions. A firewall policy analyzer identifies redundant, hidden, or empty rules, overly broad addresses or port ranges, and high-risk port use. The datasheet lists more than 30 report templates, HTML and PDF output, and log forwarding to third-party syslog servers. Deployment options include VMware Workstation, ESXi, and KVM; vHSM supports AWS. Pricing is on request, and Hillstone directs prospective customers to an authorized reseller for more information or a demonstration.
