Any Vendor to FortiGate — Zero Disruption

Migrating from ASA, Palo Alto, Check Point, or legacy firewalls? Our 7-step methodology ensures zero-downtime cutovers with full policy fidelity and performance validation.

01

Discovery

Comprehensive inventory of existing firewall rules, objects, NAT policies, VPNs, and network topology across all vendor platforms.

02

Policy Analysis

Deep analysis of current rule sets to identify redundancies, shadow rules, overly permissive policies, and optimization opportunities.

03

Design

FortiGate architecture design including zone mapping, policy hierarchy, security profiles, and FortiManager integration blueprint.

04

Lab Validation

Full lab build replicating the production environment to validate policy migration, connectivity, HA failover, and performance benchmarks.

05

Phased Cutover

Risk-minimized, phased migration with rollback procedures at every stage. Zero-downtime cutovers for mission-critical segments.

06

Verification

Post-migration validation of all traffic flows, VPN tunnels, application access, and security policy enforcement against baseline requirements.

07

Optimization

Ongoing tuning of security profiles, IPS signatures, application control policies, and FortiAnalyzer reporting for continuous improvement.
