Cisco PIX to ASA Migration

Enterprises rely on their Cisco® PIX® Security Appliances as their first and continued line of defense.  As July 28th 2008 marks the end-of-sale deadline for these appliances enterprises are increasingly seeking ways to ensure a smooth upgrade to Cisco’s ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances.

When migrating from one platform to another, especially when interfaces and configuration language options are different, as is the case with PIX and ASA, it can be very difficult to ensure that all rules and objects are performing as intended. If rules and objects are not translated and converted effectively security holes can be introduced and critical business can be disrupted leading to downtime and lost revenue.

AlgoSec’s Firewall Analyzer (AFA) provides Cisco PIX Security Appliances users a solution to seamlessly ensure an effective upgrade to ASA.  The AFA ensures that converting from PIX to ASA will not interrupt business, that risk would not be introduced and that operations would be maximized for efficiency.

With the AlgoSec migration solution enterprises upgrading from PIX to ASA can:

• Automate the error-prone and labor-intensive manual task of rule-by-rule comparison
• Proactively ensure business continuity by validating that critical traffic will keep flowing
• Receive an independent third party “proof of correct migration” audit
• Control professional service costs associated with migration
