Stormshield Management Center

Stormshield Management Center (SMC) centralizes security administration for multi-site networks using SNS firewalls. It exchanges configuration and supervision data with those firewalls in real time, with confidentiality and integrity protection, and provides a graphical interface for managing security and filtering policies across them. Administrators can supervise firewalls and VPN tunnels and centrally deploy SNS updates. SMC also covers SD-WAN management and monitoring, including route-based topology, filtering rules, and link-quality monitoring. It manages VPN topologies and can create Virtual Tunnel Interfaces automatically; it also supports post-quantum encryption deployment using KEM and PPK. A REST API, scheduled or deferred scripts, authentication through a local directory or external server, and automatic backup and centralization of configurations round out its management capabilities. SMC can connect to Stormshield Log Supervisor and is available on the OUTSCALE Marketplace. It is paid, with pricing available from a reseller partner, and Stormshield directs prospective users to sales for a trial version. Listed platforms are API, Linux, self-hosted, and web.
