The Sourcefire Defence Center (DC) management console is the “nerve center” of the Sourcefire 3D® System. It provides a powerful, yet easy-to-use interface for aggregating and monitoring security and compliance events, for generating reports and configuring alerts, and for managing policies and distributing them to underlying Sourcefire 3D Sensors. 

Each DC features a highly customizable, portal-like dashboard with dozens of pre-defined and customizable drag-and-drop “widgets” that display critical information in the form of tables and graphs. Dashboard benefits include interactive drill-down, granular administrative privileges, and dashboard tab cycling. Users can tailor the dashboard to their role within the organization and share their dashboard with their peers.
