Firewall Migration

In complex multi-firewall, multi-vendor environments, upgrading and migrating platforms can be particularly challenging, especially when interfaces and configuration language options are different.
Organizations must ensure that new firewall policies, which often consist of hundreds and even thousands of rules and objects, perform as intended without introducing new security vulnerabilities or disrupting critical business operations. Without intelligent automated tools, firewall migration projects risk delays and errors that may lead to network downtime and lost revenue.

Firewall Policy Migration – Simplified

AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer (AFA) includes unique firewall policy migration features that can compare "before" and "after" policies to identify mismatches. With field-proven upgrades and migrations between all major vendors, AFA reduces costs, accelerates completion and increases the accuracy of migration projects.

Key Migration Features:

  • Policy cleanup and optimization reduce rulesets to be migrated by removing unused rules and objects and consolidating rules.
  • Firewall policy comparison reports automate error-prone and labor-intensive rule-by-rule comparisons.
  • Topology-aware analysis prevents security holes while ensuring valid traffic is not blocked.
