McAfee Firewall Enterprise Control Center (CommandCenter™) provides a central interface for simplifying the management of multiple McAfee Firewall Enterprise (Sidewinder®) appliances. Whether you have 10 firewall appliances or hundreds, a single Control Center appliance empowers you to maximize operational efficiency, simplify policy control, and demonstrate regulatory compliance—while driving down management costs.
Control Center comprises four fully integrated policy management tools for managing your entire enterprise network—from the edge to the core.

McAfee Firewall Enterprise Control Center Alleviates Cumbersome Configurations
Cost-Effectively Manage Multiple Entries or Organizations with McAfee Firewall Enterprise Control CenterFor managed service providers, or organizations with multi-tenant management or reporting requirements, Control Center also provides administration functionality for managing the firewalls of multiple customers or separate entities. You have the ability to create “domains” that act as separate Control Center instances--administrators would only see the firewall and policies for their particular customer or entity.

Configuration Tool: Manage Complex, Dynamic Security Policies across Multiple FirewallsAn enterprise security policy may require hundreds of rules deployed across a fleet of firewalls. You need an efficient way to compare your security policy to your actual security implementation. With Control Center, you can selectively view the rules for a particular firewall, firewall group, or the entire organization and then easily modify those rules. The Configuration Tool provides an efficient and intuitive graphical user environment. Administrators implement security policies by defining Intelligent Objects once and then reusing them whenever and wherever they’re needed. McAfee Firewall Enterprise Control Center supports many types of objects, including firewalls and firewall groups, hosts, networks, address ranges, endpoint groups, and services, including geo-location objects.
With the McAfee Firewall Enterprise Control Center appliance, centralized management When policies change or attacks emerge, just update the affected objects. Control Center can instantly apply those changes to all McAfee Firewall Enterprise appliances across the enterprise. You can even compare policy configurations on all of your Control Center-managed devices to ensure consistency across your network. Robust configuration management features let you centrally track, trace, and validate all policy changes.

Your security infrastructure may include numerous firewalls deployed from the edge to the core of your network. McAfee Firewall Enterprise Control Center’s Software Update Tool makes it easy to ensure you are running the latest software on all your McAfee Firewall Enterprise appliances.
Collect and track releases within the software repository
The Repository Manager can automatically detect when new releases and firmware are available on McAfee’s FTP site. Download the files you need and store them on Control Center’s Management Server for manual or automated installation. View the readme files to determine which devices are affected. The Software Update Tool records all of the relevant file information, including the name, description, version number, target device, release date, and deployment status.
Centrally manage software installations
Install new releases to one system or to hundreds simultaneously. The Software Update Tool displays the installation history for all managed devices along with the progress of the current deployment. If needed, you can restore a trusted device configuration in seconds with a few clicks of the mouse. The Software Update Tool dramatically reduces the time and effort needed to keep your McAfee systems in peak condition.
McAfee Firewall Reporter is integrated with Control Center
For an in-depth historical and trending analysis that’s focused on your McAfee Firewall Enterprise audit stream data, use the McAfee Firewall Reporter security event management (SEM) software that’s included with Firewall Enterprise appliances. Firewall Reporter software can be accessed and used right in the Control Center GUI, delivering central monitoring, correlated alerting, and reporting on any number of McAfee Firewall audit streams.
A variety of reports are available to provide comprehensive, device-specific information from your network of McAfee Firewall Enterprise appliances. The Control Center Reporting and Monitoring Tool lets you generate and view reports about individual devices and groups of devices. These reports are operator-focused to identify, investigate, correct, and close any issue with an individual security device. The Reporting and Monitoring Tool also includes Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) reporting and monitoring.
McAfee Firewall Enterprise Control Center’s detailed reports
provide comprehensive, device-specific information.
McAfee Firewall Reporter software, which is included with McAfee Firewall Enterprise appliances,
provides 300 graphical reports for historical and trending analysis.
Firewall Reporter’s 300 reports give you immediate action points to keep the enterprise safer. The graphically rich tool strengthens your overall security posture, gives quick evidence of regulatory compliance with SOX, Payment Card Industry (PCI), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Gram-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), and Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA), and proves the effectiveness and value of your McAfee Firewall investment to management.
Together, McAfee Firewall Enterprise Control Center and McAfee Firewall Reporter provide complete reporting to keep you on top of your environment to efficiently and proactively manage your network of McAfee Firewalls.
McAfee is world-renowned for the multi-level secure operating environment that powers our firewall appliances. The Windows client and all firewalls communicate with the management server using SSL-encrypted XML. SSL with client certificates are used for encryption and two-way authentication from all devices to the management server. For utmost convenience, McAfee Firewall Enterprise Control Center includes a built-in Certificate Authority.
