What Stormshield Management Center is
Stormshield Management Center (SMC) is a centralized security management solution designed for multi-site infrastructures. It exchanges configuration and supervision data with SNS firewalls in real time while protecting confidentiality and integrity. Its graphical interface supports global security and filtering policy management across firewalls, and it supervises SNS firewalls and VPN tunnels while supporting centralized firewall updates. SMC includes SD-WAN management and monitoring, route-based topology, filtering rules, and link-quality monitoring. It manages VPN topologies and can automatically create Virtual Tunnel Interfaces. Other capabilities include deployment of post-quantum encryption using KEM and PPK, secure external connections through a REST API, and scheduled or deferred script execution. It supports local-directory or external-server authentication and automatic backup and centralization of SNS and SMC configurations. It can connect directly to Stormshield Log Supervisor for event access and is available on the OUTSCALE Marketplace. SMC is a paid product with pricing available from a reseller partner; Stormshield directs prospective users to sales for a trial version. Its listed deployment model is hybrid, and it does not support multi-vendor management.
