With Security Center Federation™, you can connect multiple Security Center systems into a single virtual system. Users on the central Security Center system can access entities that belong to the remote systems.

How Security Center Federation™ works

You view, monitor, and control remote entities from a central system called the Federation™ host. On the Federation™ host system, you create a Security Center Federation™ role for each independent system that you want to federate. The role connects the remote system to the Federation™ host.

Security Center Federation™ in a hosted system

When the Security Center Federation™ role runs in a hosted system in the cloud, we recommend using reverse tunneling. For more information on running the Federation host in the cloud, see Setting up a Security Center Federation in a hosted system on the TechDoc Hub.
