Stormshield Management Center
Issy-les-Moulineaux, France
What it is
Stormshield Management Center is a centralized security-management solution for multi-site infrastructures using SNS firewalls. It exchanges configuration and supervision data with those firewalls in real time while protecting confidentiality and integrity. Administrators can manage security and filtering policies globally through a graphical interface, supervise VPN tunnels, and deploy SNS updates centrally. SD-WAN features cover route-based topology, filtering rules, and link-quality monitoring. SMC manages VPN topologies and can automatically create Virtual Tunnel Interfaces. It also supports post-quantum encryption deployment with KEM and PPK. A REST API enables secure external connections, and scripts can run on scheduled or deferred schedules. Backups and configuration centralization are supported, with authentication through local or external directories. SMC connects to Stormshield Log Supervisor and is available through the OUTSCALE Marketplace. Pricing is on request from a reseller partner, while trial access requires contacting sales.
