Centralized Management
Network security threats have increased faster than administrators' ability to keep pace.
Today, administrators are overwhelmed with keeping up with incidents and updating their security solutions. In the worst case, this overload may cause unwanted security holes, compromising the organization’s overall security or, on the other hand, cause situations where business-critical traffic becomes blocked, affecting customer relationships.
Need for multiple management consoles and lack of integration can also lead to a high cost of ownership, inefficiency or rigid network structure. Moreover, it requires additional personnel for network management.
When it comes to security, organizations are often forced to use different management tools for each security product, or to sacrifice management capabilities using so-called "unified management" for systems that were not designed to be managed together.
To truly protect the network, it is imperative to deploy a management solution that has been designed to get the full benefits from different network security elements.
StoneGate Management Center offers a different approach to security management. It overcomes these hurdles and enables efficient security management, reducing operating costs and enabling enterprises to focus on core business.
StoneGate Management Center provides unified management for all StoneGate Firewall/VPN and IPS solutions. It manages the security solution holistically, benefiting from shared logging, real time reporting, incident handling, auditing, and other tools.
“The StoneGate Platform provides the same high levels of security but is easier to manage over multiple locations.”

StoneGate Management Center
Unified management for the whole StoneGate security
solution. Enables comprehensive view on network security at one glance. Java-based GUI,
encrypted and authenticated connections.
Remote maintenance and upgrades. The firewall/VPN devices remain operational during the upgrade transfer, and only activate the new configuration after validity checks. There is failsafe capacity to ensure rollback in the unlikely event of an error.
Auto-updates and upgrades. Software and signature updates can be securely downloaded automatically.
Comprehensive logging with easy to use filtering. There is the possibility of logging all network traffic with automatic audit records. Powerful filtering and sorting tools allow for quick drill-down to the data of interest. There is a direct file archive.
Graphic reporting. Charts features with extensive customization of report designs, scheduling and filtering.
Multiple alert methods. These include e-mail, SMS, SNMP trap and custom scripts. The alert-handling policy is based on the time of day, the alert type, severity and the originator of the alert. It allows alert escalation and notification thresholds to be set.
Efficient administration: The Management Center allows multiple administration accounts, simultaneous administration and three different administrator levels.
