Skybox Security shut down. Now what?
Get firewall visibility back
in 60 seconds.
Upload your firewall config. See exactly what Skybox was showing you — attack paths, policy risks, compliance gaps — without the $200K license or 6-month deployment.
No credit card. No deployment. Your config never touches our storage.
Why Skybox customers are moving
Skybox Security closed its doors on February 24, 2025, ending 22 years of firewall policy management, attack-surface visibility, and compliance reporting. Tufin acquired the intellectual property and launched an ExpressPath migration program — but existing Skybox licenses are no longer supported, and every quarterly audit workflow built around Skybox Horizon or Skybox Manager has been orphaned.
The migration options on the market are narrow. Tufin SecureTrack and FireMon Security Manager both target the enterprise tier Skybox served, with six-figure yearly pricing and multi-month on-prem or cloud deployments. Anyone who was using Skybox because it consumed a static configuration export — without asking for agent installs or live firewall API access — is left without a cost-comparable replacement.
CRWLR exists because that gap was obvious. Upload a FortiGate, Palo Alto, Sophos, Check Point, or Cisco ASA configuration — get the same findings Skybox produced (attack paths, CIS benchmark gaps, VPN crypto audit, firmware CVE matches) in under a minute, with no servers to maintain and no license negotiations.

60-Second Time to Value
Upload a config file. Get a full posture report. No agents, no API keys, no infrastructure. Works with the config export you already have.
Privacy by Architecture
Your raw config is parsed in memory and discarded. It never touches our storage — ever. This is an architecture guarantee, not a policy.
Zero False Positives
Every finding is deterministically derived from your config. No AI guessing. No heuristics. If we flag it, it's real — and we'll show you the exact line.
What Former Skybox Customers Get
Migration Path — Skybox to CRWLR in 60 seconds
Export your firewall configuration
The same file you used for your Skybox nightly import. FortiGate: `execute backup config`. Palo Alto: Device → Setup → Operations → Export. Sophos: Backup & Firmware → Backup. Check Point: mgmt_cli show-rulebase. Cisco ASA: show running-config. No re-plumbing needed.
Upload to CRWLR — parsed in memory, discarded after scan
Drag the config file into the /welcome wizard or POST to /api/v1/scans. Unlike Skybox and Tufin, the raw configuration is never written to disk or database. Only the normalized findings and scores persist. This is an architecture-level guarantee.
Review the posture report — or export for your auditor
Attack paths, policy hygiene, VPN crypto issues, firmware CVEs cross-referenced against CISA KEV, and per-finding CLI remediation commands land in your dashboard in under a minute. Download the PDF and evidence package for compliance submission.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happened to Skybox Security?+
Skybox Security ceased operations on February 24, 2025 after more than two decades in the firewall policy management space. Tufin acquired Skybox's intellectual property and launched an ExpressPath migration program aimed at enterprise customers, but existing Skybox licenses and support contracts ended with the shutdown.
What are the best Skybox Security alternatives in 2026?+
The main options are Tufin (acquired Skybox assets, enterprise pricing ~$50K+/yr), FireMon (60-day migration program, similar enterprise tier), and CRWLR (SaaS, free tier, config-file-based — no agents or API access needed). For SMBs and MSPs the cost-effective choice is typically CRWLR or lightweight tools like ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer.
Can I migrate from Skybox to CRWLR without redeploying infrastructure?+
Yes. CRWLR is SaaS and uses your existing firewall configuration export — the same .conf, XML, or JSON file Skybox consumed. No agents, no API credentials, no VPN tunnels. Upload the file, get a posture report in under 60 seconds.
Does CRWLR support the same vendors Skybox did?+
CRWLR supports Fortinet FortiGate, Palo Alto Networks, Sophos XG/XGS, Check Point R80+ (including Gaia), and Cisco ASA. Sophos configuration parsing is actually stronger than Skybox offered — CRWLR parses both XML exports and Sophos PostgreSQL backups.
How does CRWLR pricing compare to Tufin or Skybox?+
CRWLR starts with a free tier for small fleets and scales to per-firewall pricing well below enterprise tool territory. Tufin and FireMon target enterprise budgets ($50K–$200K+/yr). For MSPs managing 20–50 small FortiGates, CRWLR's MSP tier is typically 10–20× cheaper than the alternatives.
Is my firewall configuration stored by CRWLR?+
No. Your raw configuration is parsed entirely in memory and discarded immediately after analysis. Only the normalized findings, scores, and remediation data are persisted. This is an architecture-level guarantee, not a policy — Skybox, Tufin, and FireMon all persist raw configs on their infrastructure.
Can CRWLR replace Skybox for compliance reporting?+
Yes. CRWLR maps findings to CIS Benchmarks (FortiGate, Palo Alto, Sophos), PCI DSS Requirement 1, and NIST 800-41. The PDF report and evidence package export are designed for audit submission. Config drift detection across re-scans provides the before/after diff Skybox customers relied on for quarterly compliance reviews.
