v5
Strengthen your identity and access management
Stormshield Network Security (SNS) firewalls now include identity management for the Microsoft suite via Entra ID. With SNS v5, you can simplify all your authentication procedures for access controls on your hybrid infrastructure.
Take advantage of post-quantum encryption
Make it easier to protect your sensitive data communications against post-quantum cyber-attacks thanks to the integration of standard post-quantum encryption algorithms in version 5.
Boost and streamline your staff's activities
The Stormshield VPN SSL Client allows you to keep pace with the increase in teleworking, in a new version that is more powerful, adaptable, and user-friendly. With increased throughput and more connections, coupled with multi-OS compatibility (Windows, MacOS and Linux), you can respond more effectively to the needs of each of your users.
Secure your infrastructure with interconnection
SNS v5 includes a REST API. With this new application programming interface, third-party applications will be able to communicate with your Stormshield firewalls to enhance your security. For example, the firewall can automatically and transparently quarantine an IP address that has previously been detected as abnormal.
