What is FortiConverter Cloud?

As a part of FortiCloud’s unified platform, FortiConverter is Fortinet’s cloud-hosted firewall configuration conversion service. It automates the translation of firewall policies and objects from third-party security platforms, or legacy FortiGate devices, into FortiOS-compatible configuration files for deployment on FortiGate next-generation firewalls.

By analysing existing firewall configurations and converting them into validated FortiGate-ready syntax, FortiConverter Cloud reduces migration risk, shortens deployment time, and removes the need for manual rule re-creation during firewall refresh or platform migration projects.

FortiConverter Cloud provides automated firewall migration capabilities, including:

  • Configuration conversion from third-party firewalls including Cisco, Check Point, Juniper, Palo Alto and SonicWall
  • FortiGate to FortiGate conversion for FortiOS upgrades and hardware refresh projects
  • Automated translation of firewall policies, NAT, routing and address objects
  • Cloud-based file upload and conversion workflow with no local tools required
  • Output of FortiOS-valid configuration files ready for direct deployment on supported FortiGate models

 

As a certified Fortinet partner, we setup FortiConverter Cloud subscriptions to help enterprise IT teams ensure consistent policy conversion, reduced outage windows, and predictable FortiGate deployment outcomes during migrations.
