SonicWall Network Security Manager

What is SonicWall Network Security Manager? #

SonicWall Network Security Manager (NSM) orchestrates firewall operations and manages threats and risks across your firewall ecosystem.

Why Should You Use the SonicWall Network Security Manager Connector? #

The SonicWall Network Security Manager connector provides visibility into the users and assets in your environment. You can use this visibility to:

• ensure assets are managed per your security policies

• ensure user are managed per your security policies

• derive relationships between assets, users, applications, and data

How Does This Connector Work? #

Lucidum executes read-only requests to the SonicWall Network Security Manager REST API and ingests only meta-data about SonicWall Network Security Manager devices. Lucidum does not retrieve any data stored on your assets.
