Fortinet Deployment in St Albans
Deploying Fortinet firewalls for St Albans organisations, where the cutover is the part that needs planning. Replacing the device at the network edge means an interruption, a configuration that has not run in production before and a decision about how quickly you can put the old one back if something does not work.
Why this comes up
The problem
The new firewall was installed on a Friday evening with no way to revert before Monday.
What you get
What we deliver
- Cutover scheduled with a defined rollback and the previous device kept available
- Configuration built and reviewed in advance rather than assembled during the window
- Existing rules translated deliberately, since automated conversion is imperfect
- Site-to-site and remote access tunnels tested before the change, not after
- Subscriptions activated and verified so protection is live from the first day
- Monitoring and logging configured during deployment rather than left for later

Fortinet Deployment in St Albans — common questions
- Why does rollback matter so much?
- Because something usually does not work. A configuration untested against real traffic will have gaps — a tunnel that will not establish, an application blocked unexpectedly — and being able to reinstate the previous device turns a crisis into a rescheduled attempt.
- Can rules be converted automatically?
- Partially, and the result needs reviewing. Conversion tools handle straightforward rules and produce approximations of anything unusual, so treating the output as a starting point rather than a finished configuration avoids some memorable Monday mornings.
- What is most often missed?
- Tunnels and remote access. Site-to-site connections and VPN configurations are easy to overlook during a firewall replacement and immediately obvious when they fail, so testing them in advance where possible is time well spent.
- Should subscriptions be checked at deployment?
- Yes, because a device without them routes traffic and inspects nothing. Confirming that filtering, intrusion prevention and antivirus services are active and updating from the first day avoids a period where the firewall is present and not protecting.
- Do you work with businesses across Hertfordshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East of England, including St Albans and the surrounding Hertfordshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of St Albans businesses do you usually work with?
- Professional services and consultancy systems for small firms serving London clients from a Hertfordshire base. Beyond that we work across Professional Services, Financial Services, Media, Retail and Construction.
- Do you cover the areas around St Albans?
- Yes — we work throughout East of England, including London, Milton Keynes, Cambridge. St Albans is an urban area of roughly 150,000+, and we take on work across the wider Hertfordshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
