Deploying new firewalls in a greenfield environment is a fairly straightforward task. However, replacing an existing solution with new firewalls is more challenging. Sadly it’s not quite a case of plug and play; the existing environment will already be supporting applications and services. Starting over with the firewall policy is rarely an option.
A large part of my day is centered around firewall conversions, or migrations. This is a task that can vary from “dead simple” to “dead hard” and is dependent on many factors. However, there are things you can do to make life easier, and get the conversion right the first time. The tips and best practices here will frequently refer to Fortinet products, but much of this can be applied to any security migration.
