Your First Stop to Assess the Health, Security, and Efficiency
of Your Network
The Command Center is a visualized overview of your
network and security infrastructure. It provides you with four
different views, each with its own tracked data, metrics, and
actionable insights to examine and interact with.
You can access monitoring capabilities through the consolidated
Insights section, which brings together security and operational
dashboards in one location.
Insights gives a comprehensive view of your network traffic,
subscriptions, users, applications, networks, threats, and more
across Prisma Access and NGFW deployment. Also get an
interactive view of the applications, ION devices, threats,
users, and security subscriptions at work in your network. The
dashboards provide visibility into the health, security posture,
and activity happening in your deployment that helps you to
prevent or address performance and security gaps in your
network. Depending on the subscriptions and products you're
using, you can monitor:
Gain comprehensive Visibility with Interactive
Reports
Generate, share, and schedule data-driven insights
shared through reports with visual charting, interactive query,
and recommendations to eliminate risk.
Common Framework for Investigating Incidents and
Alerts
Strata Cloud Manager provides a unified incidents
and alerts framework. In one place, view, investigate, and
address the alerts and incidents on your network, and jump to
your logs to examine the associated activity.
View and interact with your logs stored in Strata
Logging Service. Logs are automatically-generated, time-stamped
that provides an audit trail for the system, configuration, and
network traffic events.
Manage a shared policy across your network security
products and subscriptions; on day one, you can start off with a
secure configuration based on predefined best practice policies
and settings, and inline best practice checks.
The Discovery dashboard then surfaces critical and recommended
actions to further strengthen your security posture and optimize
configuration management. From this centralized view, you can
set up and onboard NGFWs and Prisma Access mobile users and
remote networks, and plan NGFW software upgrades, all in one
place.
These are the
settings you'll find yourself coming back to when you are adding
new users, licenses, or admins, or even as you yourself are
