Migrate from Fortinet

Time to migrate to radically simple, secure access

Move from Fortinet to Cerberus for greater security, reliability, simplicity and ROI, without the appliance maintenance tax. No firmware upgrades to schedule, no license renewals to chase and no hardware to babysit - just modern, software-delivered connectivity that scales with your teams and keeps every VPN tunnel running while your engineers focus on higher-value work.

Centralized VPNs can't keep up

Traditional appliance VPNs add complexity and risk that's misaligned with Zero Trust. Cerberus replaces the gateway with a direct, encrypted mesh you never have to expose, scale, patch or defend.

How it works

1

Deploy alongside FortiGate

Run Cerberus next to your existing appliances. Nothing changes for users until you're ready to switch.

2

Cut over site by site

Move traffic to direct, encrypted tunnels one location at a time, validating each step, with instant rollback if needed.

3

Decommission the appliances

Retire the gateways and drop the firmware upgrades, CVE patching and per-box licensing for good.
