StoneGate’s policies and logs are tightly linked. There are many shortcuts how to move from logs to corresponding rule in the policy and vice versa. The latest addition on this side is that you can now create new rules based on selected log entries. See the example video below about how to create rules from Logs with StoneGate Management Center.

The Rule Counters is one of the coolest features of StoneGate Management Center 5.0. This new feature allows you to check how many times each rule in the policy has matched within specified time period. This information is directly available in the policy editor. You can find the unused rules with a couple of clicks and clean up your policies to better reflect the actual information flow. Rule counters are a convenient tool also in troubleshooting tasks.

See the video below to find out how rule counters work in practice.

The video below gives an practical example how you can restrict administrator’s permissions with the help of Administrator Roles, Access Control Lists and Domains. Note that if you use domains, you can create administrator accounts either in Shared Domain (for administrators that have access to multiple domains) or in any subdomain (when administrator needs access only to that spesific domain).

StoneGate’s Domains solution gives excellent tools for managing large environments. You can simplify the environments by dividing them to separated domains. At the same time you can still share the common elements like policy templates by keeping them in “Shared Domain”. The Domains are especially useful for Managed Security Service Providers but also large enterprises may find Domains useful when there is need to simplify the environments and divide administrators’ responsibilities.

Have a look at the video below to find out what are Domains all about.
