What is the SonicWall Network Security Manager (NSM)?

The SonicWall Network Security Manager (NSM) is a tool specifically designed for centralized management of SonicWall security appliances. This means that it provides a single interface for administrators to monitor, manage, and configure multiple security devices across a network. By utilizing NSM, organizations can streamline their security operations, enforce consistent policies, and gain comprehensive visibility into security events and device performance.

Centralized management is crucial for maintaining robust security protocols across various devices, especially in organizations with multiple locations or a sizeable network infrastructure. This capability enables efficient handling of security threats and simplifies the administration of security policies, making it an essential component for effective network security management.
