Migrate from Snort 2 to Snort 3

Snort is an intrusion detection and prevention system that has undergone a significant change from Version 2 to Version 3. To leverage the enhanced features and capabilities of Snort 3, migration of the existing rule sets from Snort 2 becomes crucial. This migration process involves converting and adapting the Snort 2 rules to the Snort 3 rule syntax and optimizing them for improved detection and performance.

In some cases, organizations can have the threat defense devices managed by the Secure Firewall Management Center. Organizations can opt for a hybrid deployment approach during the migration from Snort 2 to Snort 3. This approach allows for a gradual transition and minimizes potential disruptions, if any.
