How to Review Cybersecurity Before Replacing a Business Firewall

11/10/2026

A firewall replacement can preserve connectivity while losing security rules, VPN settings, logging, or network segmentation. A rushed cutover can also leave temporary broad rules in place.

What to check

Inventory current policies, VPN and remote access, public services, logging destinations, admin accounts, firmware support, and required application flows. Identify rules with unclear owners and confirm backup configuration is restorable.

Recommended next step

Build and review a rule migration, test key business paths, and use a time-bounded cutover plan with rollback. Remove temporary exceptions and verify logs and remote access after deployment.
