ACTIVE UPDATE

The Active Update module consists of a single screen with three separate sections:

  • Update: for each module, makes it possible to select whether the update must be manual, automatic or disabled.
  • Manual update for security databases: makes it possible to set manual updates for the configured modules. These modules are updated via an update file downloaded from the MyStormshield website.
  • Advanced properties: makes it possible to configure the servers used for automatic updates.

Manual update for security databases

To update data configured for manual updates:

  1. Download the update file (with .ssp extension) from MyStormshield (Downloads > Stormshield Network Security > Offline Active Update Data).

When you use customized context-based protection signatures hosted on one or several internal server(s), enter the URL(s) to access this or these server(s) in order for these signatures to benefit from automatic updates.

Update servers

Stormshield Network update servers are entered by default, but you can customize these addresses to set up internal mirror sites. For further information, refer to the article in the Stormshield Knowledge base How to create my own autoupdate server for my Stormshield UTMs.
