Module description

McAfee Network Security Manager (NSM) is a simple, centralized management software for distributed McAfee Network Security Platform intrusion prevention system (IPS) sensors and network access control (NAC) appliances. The NSM console with its intuitive graphical interface gives administrators complete control and real-time data, so that they can manage, configure, administer, and monitor all IPS and NAC appliances across widely distributed, mission-critical deployments. The NSM Secure UI Crypto Module provides cryptographic services for serving the NSM console through a secure TLS session.
