Powerful script-based event handling subsystem, with support for 4 major scripting languages (NEW!)

Administration

SilverSHielD runs as a system service and local/remote administration is performed though a modern Management Console, included in the download package, which establishes a secure channel with the SilverSHielD server and allows remote configuration of one or many servers
Alternatively you can take advantage of the Command-Line Interface (CLI) to integrate SilverSHielD management into your workflow, even using 3rd party management tools (provided such tools can call a command line application)

Unlike many other competing products, SilverSHielD isn't loaded with tons of (often useless) features; instead it's focused on simplicity and ease of use, and of course on security and reliability.
