FortiConverter

Most manufacturers of internet-enabled products have to carry out a never-ending battle with malignant actors seeking to find loopholes in their security systems in an attempt to either spy, blackmail or corrupt the device itself with malware.

Regardless of the intent, companies are much more likely to be subjected to such attacks, especially from competitors that try to gain insider information for use in their future strategies.

In this sense, businesses that wish to enhance their network security without replacing the existing hardware infrastructure can upgrade the devices’ current firmware to support FortiOS, a platform focused on scalability and consistent deployment of security policies that can be more easily implemented through FortiConverter.

Once installed, the app boots to a Metro-inspired tile-powered dashboard reminiscent of Windows 8’s heydays. As soon as the router brand is selected, users can start following the steps laid out in a setup-style layout that lets them configure elements ranging from the Physical Interface Mapping to the Route Information details.

The app is also capable of removing errors in existing configurations, as well as displaying the remaining unconverted objects to give IT personnel an idea regarding the changes that may need to occur during future updates.
