Working with Devices
License: 
Any
You can use the Defense Center to manage the full range of devices that are a part of the FireSIGHT 
System. When you manage a device, you set up a two-way, SSL-encrypted communication channel 
between the Defense Center and the device. The Defense Center uses this channel to send information 
to the device about how you want to analyze and manage your network traffic.
As the device evaluates the traffic, it generates events and sends them to the Defense Center using the 
same channel.
