Configuring the Stormshield update server

Stormshield regularly provides several resources such as new security policies, rule sets, and Yara and IoC resources.

Updates are available by default on a Stormshield public server, but you can use a server of your choice.

To customize the update server:

1. Select the Backoffice > System menu, General tab.

2. Click on Edit in the upper banner.

3. The feature is enabled by default. If you disable it, the panel in which updates are downloaded will no longer be visible and notifications of new available updates will also be automatically disabled.

4. In the Update server section, select the frequency of connections to the server. Choose Never to disable automatic connection to the server. In this case, click on the Check updates button in the panel where updates are downloaded, to manually connect to the server.

5. Keep the Stormshield server's default address, or enter the address of a local server of your choice.

6. Ensure that the connection to the server functions by clicking on Check address.

NOTE
The backend component sets up connections to the update server in HTTPS over TCP port 443. If there are several backend components, one of them will be chosen at random to set up the connection to the update server.

Once the server is configured, you can Downloading Stormshield updates.
