How Firewall Threat Defense Migration to Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center Works

Security Cloud Control Firewall Management performs migration in the following sequence:

  1. Onboards on-premises Firewall Management Center to Security Cloud Control Firewall Management.

  2. Exports configurations from on-premises Firewall Management Center.

  3. Imports shared policies, objects, and device-specific configurations to Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center.

  4. Registers Firewall Threat Defense devices with Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center.

  5. Starts a 14-day evaluation window to commit or revert changes.

  6. Allows a commit or revert changes.

After migration:

  • Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center manages devices and their configuration.

  • Events and analytics can be handled by either the on-premises Firewall Management Center (analytics-only mode) or Security Cloud Control Firewall Management.

  • Devices appear on the Security Devices page.
