Managing Forcepoint NGFW Engines using the SSM Agent

You can use the AWS Systems Manager Agent (SSM Agent) to manage Forcepoint NGFW Engines that are deployed in the AWS cloud using the same AWS tools that are used for other AWS resources.

The SSM Agent allows you to:

• Run commands remotely on Forcepoint NGFW Engines.
• Open interactive command line sessions on Forcepoint NGFW Engines.

To use the SSM Agent, the Forcepoint NGFW Engine instance must have an IAM role that allows administration using the SSM Agent, and your AWS account must have permissions to use the SSM Agent.
