Firewall Ejector Seat v7.0: The Only SonicWall to WatchGuard Automated Converter You Need Right Now
When Trust in Your Firewall Vendor Crumbles, Your Migration Strategy Becomes Everything
The SonicWall confidence crisis is real, and it’s happening now.
Over the past two months, SonicWall customers have faced an unprecedented series of security incidents that have fundamentally shaken trust in the platform. From the MySonicWall cloud backup breach affecting ALL customers who used the service to the ongoing exploitation of CVE-2024-40766 by Akira ransomware groups, the writing is on the wall: it’s time to move.
But here’s the challenge every IT professional knows: firewall migrations are historically a nightmare. Manual processes that take 120-160 hours, error rates approaching 25%, and deployment failures that can leave your network exposed for days or weeks.
That changes today.
The SonicWall Crisis: A Timeline of Lost Confidence
Let me lay out what SonicWall customers have endured in 2025:
🚨 September 17, 2025: The MySonicWall Breach
- Initial claim: “Under 5% of customers affected”
- Reality: ALL customers who used cloud backup service affected
- Impact: Firewall configuration files exposed, containing encrypted credentials, network architecture, and security policies
- What attackers got: A complete blueprint of your network perimeter defenses
[Source: SonicWall Advisory, updated October 8, 2025]
🎯 October 4, 2025: Mass VPN Compromises Begin
- Scale: Over 100 SonicWall SSL VPN accounts across 16 customer accounts compromised
- Method: Attackers using valid credentials likely harvested from the MySonicWall breach
- Timeline: Network scanning and lateral movement within minutes of initial access
- Attribution: Linked to Akira ransomware operations
[Source: Huntress Security Research, October 2025]
🔓 Ongoing: CVE-2024-40766 Exploitation
- CVSS Score: 9.3 (Critical)
- Timeline: Originally patched August 2024, but 438,000+ devices still exposed
- Reality: Even patched devices remain vulnerable if credentials weren’t reset during Gen 6 to Gen 7 migrations
- Ransomware Impact: Full network encryption achieved in under 10 hours in documented cases
[Source: Arctic Wolf, Bitsight Research, September 2025]
Why Manual Migration Isn’t an Option Anymore
When your current firewall vendor’s cloud infrastructure has been breached and your configuration files are potentially in the hands of ransomware groups, speed matters.
Traditional migration approaches that require 3-4 months of planning and execution aren’t just inconvenient—they’re dangerous. Every day you remain on a compromised platform increases your exposure to:
- ✅ Credential harvesting from previous breaches
- ✅ Network reconnaissance using your exposed configuration data
- ✅ Targeted ransomware attacks leveraging known vulnerabilities
- ✅ Lateral movement through compromised VPN access
The cost of staying is now higher than the cost of leaving.

Why Every Day Matters
The SonicWall situation is deteriorating, not improving:
- New attack vectors are discovered weekly
- Credential databases from breaches are being actively exploited
- Ransomware groups have specifically targeted SonicWall infrastructure
- Trust in the platform continues to erode with each new incident
Organizations that migrate first will have the best migration experiences, pricing, and support availability.
Those who wait will face:
- ❌ Higher migration costs as demand increases
- ❌ Longer wait times as migration resources become scarce
- ❌ Continued exposure to evolving attack vectors
- ❌ Potential compliance issues from using compromised infrastructure
The Bottom Line: Your Network Security Can’t Wait
The SonicWall confidence crisis isn’t a temporary setback—it’s a fundamental shift that requires immediate action. When your firewall vendor’s own cloud infrastructure has been breached and your configuration files are potentially in the hands of ransomware operators, the risk of staying exceeds the cost of leaving.
FIREWALL EJECTOR SEAT v7.0 is the lifeline your organization needs right now.
