A 6-step plan for moving from HaloFort to HaloFortress without an all-or-nothing cutover. Co-existence agents run both stacks side-by-side. Most fleets complete migration in 3-8 weeks.
Install the HaloFortress agent alongside your HaloFort agent. Run in observe-only mode for 7-14 days while you translate policies. Cut over conditional access for a pilot ring, then expand by posture rings until HaloFort can be retired. The first policy is live within 11 minutes of tenant provisioning.
Spin up an isolated tenant, connect your IdP (Okta, Entra ID, Google), and import your org chart via SCIM. Takes about 9 minutes.
Both agents run side-by-side without conflict. The HaloFortress agent reports posture in observe-only mode for 7-14 days while you build confidence.
Use the policy translator to convert HaloUEM XML profiles into HaloFortress YAML. Roughly 80% of controls map 1:1; we surface the rest for review.
Pick a 50-200 person ring. Cut their conditional access from HaloTrust to HaloFortress Trust. Watch the dashboards for one full week.
Roll outward in posture rings. The HaloFort agent stays installed but goes silent. Most teams retire it across 4-8 weeks depending on fleet size.
Once posture and access are stable, run the bulk uninstall through HaloFortress. End-of-quarter is a clean cutoff for the licensing line item.
Yes. HaloFortress covers the same UEM and Zero Trust scope as HaloFort's HaloUEM and HaloTrust products, plus EPM and DLP, in a single platform. The functional gap most teams cite is Linux endpoint support, real-time (not login-time) posture-bound access, and broader third-party patch coverage.
Most teams complete a migration in 3 to 8 weeks. The first policy is live within 11 minutes of tenant provisioning. Co-existence agents run both stacks side-by-side so there is no all-or-nothing cutover.
Yes. HaloFortress ships native agents for Ubuntu, RHEL, Debian, and Arch, with full posture, patch, and access enforcement. Linux is a first-class platform, not a roadmap item.
HaloFortress uses a single per-endpoint price that includes UEM, ZTNA, EPM, and DLP. HaloFort licenses HaloUEM and HaloTrust separately and tiers features within each. For most fleets, all-in HaloFortress pricing is comparable to or below HaloFort UEM + Trust together.
About 80% of HaloUEM XML profiles translate 1:1 to HaloFortress YAML via the policy translator. The remaining 20% are surfaced for review, usually because they reference HaloFort-specific constructs that HaloFortress models differently.
HaloFortress runs on AWS and GCP across North America, EU, UK, and APAC (Singapore, Sydney, Mumbai). Customers can pin their tenant to a specific region for data residency requirements.
We will pair you with a migration engineer who has done this for fleets your size. No cost during evaluation.
