Firewall Refresh
Is your firewall end-of-support or running slow? Move seamlessly to a next-generation FortiGate while preserving your existing rules.
A refresh with no loss of protection or continuity
A firewall past its support period can't receive current threat signatures and weakens over time. But during a refresh, a misconfiguration or unplanned cutover can create downtime and a security gap.
First we analyze the existing setup and rules, choose a correctly sized device, migrate the policies and do the cutover seamlessly in a planned maintenance window. When the new device goes live, protection is stronger.
Common problems
- End-of-support device
An un-updated firewall is exposed to new threats.
