Unified Management Center
The UserGate Management Center (UGMC) is an add-on component for the UserGate universal firewall that makes it possible to manage a large number of appliances. UserGate Management Center consolidates device management into a single point from where the administrator can monitor UserGate servers, apply the required settings, create policies that apply to groups of devices to ensure corporate network security.
Key Features
The UGMC enables centralized configuration of all UserGate firewall parameters: network settings, firewall rules, content filtering, intrusion detection systems, etc. UserGate Management Center allows you to streamline the composition of settings via templates and to apply these settings transparently to the selected part of your firewall fleet.
UserGate firewall management can be divided into 4 stages:
- Creating a managed realm;
- Creating a template or several templates, each template will define its own part of the firewall settings;
- Combining the required templates into a group in the necessary order to produce the correct configuration for the managed UserGate devices;
- Adding a managed device and applying a template group to it.
If necessary, after applying the templates, the settings can be changed so that they apply to all firewalls to which the templates are applied.
