Hillstone Security Management Platform

HHillstone Security Management (HSM) is a powerful management system that provides advanced security operation efficiency, secure SD-WAN management, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) control, and more—all from a single pane of glass.

Hillstone HSM Value Proposition

Efficient Security Operations Management

The Hillstone Security Management (HSM) platform offers comprehensive centralized management for Hillstone’s NGFW, NIPS, ADC, and WAF, as well as third-party devices via SNMP. With Hillstone HSM, security administrators can efficiently manage and monitor all devices, including device status, resource usage, license management, while streamlining configuration settings, firmware updates, and signature database upgrades. Addtionally, HSM provides centralized security policy management for Hillstone NGF W and NIPS devices, as well as centralized monitoring of application services of all managed ADC devices. For WAF devices, HSM enables seamless site configuration, policy management, and log management. This centralized approach not only simplifies device management but also enhances operational efficiency and visibility, providing improved monitoring and control across the entire security infrastructure.

Zero-Trust Network Access

HSM allows you to centrally manage and monitor the ZT NA gateways in real time. This helps improve operational efficiency while providing visibility into the users and endpoints. It also supports the unified distribution of ZTNA policies including policy packages and device- specific policies, which enables administrators to enforce fine-grained zero-trust access control with efficiency. With unified ZTNA management, organizations benefit from increased efficiency and a better remote access control solution.

Local Signature Database Server

HSM functions as a local signature server in environments where network limitations prevent direct access to external signature update services. By managing updates locally, HSM reduces reliance on external connections, ensuring that Hillstone security products receive bulk signature database updates promptly and consistently. This streamlined approach keeps your defenses up-to-date, reducing operational risk and maintaining a strong security posture, even in restricted or private cloud environments.

Secure SD-WAN

HSM also functions as the SD-WAN controller, leveraging Hillstone’s advanced NGFW with built-in intrusion prevention, threat defense, malware protection, and URL filtering to deliver secure SD-WAN solutions for organizations of all sizes. With zero-touch provisioning, preconfigured settings enable fast, error-free device deployment, reducing overhead and boosting reliability. HSM automates VPN overlay orchestration, supporting various architectures such as hub-and-spoke and mesh topologies, and enables quick deployment of business workflows from branch offices to headquarters or the cloud with just a few clicks. The HSM SD-WAN dashboard provides dynamic device health status with underlay and overlay network quality such as delay, jitter, packet loss, etc. HSM’s intelligent traffic steering, based on applications, policies, and real-time network conditions, optimizes the user experience. HSM empowers organizations to optimize their network infrastructure with confidence by reducing costs, improving operational efficiency, and delivering a highly secure SD-WAN experience.

Unifed Firewall Policy Analyzer

HSM serves as a policy analyzer for firewall policy configurations from various vendors, including both Hillstone NGFWs and third-party NGFWs. It identifies redundant, hidden, or empty policies, as well as policies with overly broad addresses or port ranges, and high-risk port usage. HSM generates detailed reports highlighting abnormal policies and provides actionable recommmendations for remediation. This enables organizations to detect and address security vulnerabilities in their firewall policy configurations, ensuring a more secure and optimized security posture.
