Use wizards to reduce the 

size and complexity of your 
rule base, reduce overlaps 
and duplications, and 
simplify common tasks like 

VPN deployments.

•

Receive, consolidate, and 
display customized alerts from 
managed firewalls through a 
secure channel.

•

Validate policy consistency and 

understand rule interactions 
prior to distribution.

•

Import firewall configurations, 
make changes, and then export 
back to all devices, saving 
significant time and effort.

•

Backup and restore firewall 
configurations to recover from 
configuration errors, or replicate 
a trusted configuration on a 
new system quickly and easily.

•

Control individual or groups of 
firewalls by re-initializing the 
network or rebooting.

•

Cost-effectively manage 
multiple entries, organizations, 
or configuration domains

•

Track all user actions in a session 

by associating them with a 
change ticket.

•

Support audit and regulatory 
compliance by viewing all 
changes in the audit trail with 
the change ticket number.

Intuitive dashboard and real-time 
audit viewer

The firewall dashboard provides quick details on 

system status, allows simple confirmation and 
updating of security services, and highlights 
the latest number of applications discovered 
and policies in use over your chosen time span. 

Additionally, the real-time audit viewer within the 

console helps you keep abreast of active rules 
and troubleshoot issues. You can filter audit logs 
using predefined or custom filters, color code the 
results to accentuate threat events, and schedule 
automatic exporting of data to reporting systems, 
like McAfee Firewall Reporter or McAfee Security 
Innovation Alliance partner products.

Central administration

In environments with multiple firewalls, firewall 
administrators can use the local firewall 
administration console for full policy and device 
configuration, to set up and monitor dashboards, 
and to perform troubleshooting by viewing packet 
captures and logs in real time. 

But how do you see the big picture? How do you 
capture economies of scale and reduce overlaps 
in rules, policies, and operations? The optional 
McAfee Firewall Enterprise Control Center 
dedicated or virtual appliance centralizes firewall 
management across multiple firewalls, boosting 
consistency and slashing maintenance effort. 
McAfee Firewall Enterprise Control Center helps 
you implement firewall security configuration 
settings, policies, and policy changes quickly, 
easily, and accurately across your entire firewall 
infrastructure. This integrated environment unites 
all of the McAfee firewall management tools.

Powerful yet simple rule creation, validation, 
and distribution

An enterprise security policy may require hundreds 

of rules deployed across a fleet of firewalls. Large 
policies with many rules are harder to manage and 
increase the chance of user error, which puts the 
network at risk. 

The McAfee Firewall Enterprise Control 

Center environment helps you construct and 

optimize policies to minimize the number of 
rules, streamlining execution for better firewall 
performance. You can allow the traffic and 
inspections that you need, without extra checks 

that slow it down. 

McAfee Firewall Enterprise Control Center 
includes graphical, fully integrated policy 
management tools that handle your entire 
enterprise network—from the edge to the 
core. The single rule policy concept available for 
local administration is enriched here to match 
the challenges of managing multiple systems, 
handling complex network topologies, and 
reusing rules. As you define powerful rules to take 
full advantage of filtering and protection features 
and act on applications and users, McAfee Firewall 
Enterprise Control Center helps you leverage these 
rules across your firewall infrastructure. 

Drag-and-drop rule “objects” make it easy to 
configure, reuse, merge, optimize, troubleshoot, 
and clean up (remove unused) policies as you 
create specific configurations for each appliance 
in a multifirewall environment. To control access 
to specific systems, such as database servers, you 
can search by rules within objects, such as IP 
address or port. Just drag and drop the resulting 
rule objects to the correct rule fields to create or 
update access controls. Before you update the rule, 
just click to see if there are overlaps and confirm 
that the rule will fire.
