When to replace that aging firewall
End-of-support appliances quietly become unpatchable internet doors. How to plan a refresh without drama.
Firewalls do not announce retirement with a parade. Vendors quietly stop firmware and signatures.
Replace sooner if
- The model is past end-of-support
- VPN capacity is maxed
- You need modern options you cannot get on the old OS
- Hardware faults are becoming a quarterly surprise
Plan the cutover
Document NAT rules, VPNs, and object groups before the weekend. Stale rules are how “temporary” holes become permanent.
