The SMCaaS Application provides context-sensitive online help.

The SMCaaS Application is a cloud-based management interface that simplifies and secures distributed network environments.

The SMCaaS solution provides a comprehensive cloud-based management solution for secure VPNs, offering a range of benefits that simplify network management, enhance security, and improve efficiency.

Licenses provide your system with a proof of purchase. The SMCaaS Application automatically handles licenses in the background.

Routing defines through which next hop router the Engine forwards traffic from a source address to a destination address. Anti-spoofing defines which addresses are considered valid source addresses for the networks connected to each interface.

You can use Multi-Link to distribute outbound traffic between multiple network connections and to provide high availability and load balancing for outbound traffic.

Inbound traffic management ensures that services remain available even when one or more servers or NetLinks fail, and balances the load of incoming traffic more efficiently between a group of servers. Inbound traffic management is not supported on layer 2 physical interfaces on Engines.

When you use Multi-Link for outbound traffic management or Multi-Link VPNs, SMCaaS can dynamically select the NetLink or VPN link that best matches the quality requirements of traffic.

Policies are key elements that contain rules for allowing or blocking network traffic and inspecting the content of traffic.

Policy elements are containers for the rules that determine how Engines, Master Engines, and Virtual Engines examine traffic. The policy elements for the Engines include Template Policies, Policies, and Sub-Policies.

You can monitor Engines and view system summaries in the SMCaaS Application.

The Application Health Monitoring dashboard lets administrators monitor network and application layers connection quality.

You can view logs through the log browsing view. You can view data from all types of Engines, and from third-party elements that are configured to send data to the SMCaaS Application.

Reports are summaries of logs and statistics that allow you to combine large amounts of data into an easily viewable form.

Filters allow you to select data based on values that it contains. Most frequently, you use filters when viewing logs, but filters can also be used for other tasks, such as exporting logs and selecting data for reports.

A VPN extends a secured private network over public networks by encrypting connections so that they can be transported over insecure links without compromising confidential data.

A digital certificate is a proof of identity. SMCaaS supports using certificates for authenticating gateways and the Forcepoint VPN Client.

You can reconfigure and tune existing VPNs.
