Platform Migration Guide

Overview

This guide walks you through migrating your existing security infrastructure to the CyberVault platform. Whether you're transitioning from a legacy SIEM, consolidating fragmented tools, or onboarding a new environment, this standardized process ensures zero data loss, minimal downtime, and immediate threat visibility.

ℹ️ Note

Before beginning, ensure your migration window is scheduled outside peak operational hours. CyberVault's automated rollback feature guarantees safe reversion if any anomalies are detected during cutover.

Prerequisites

Complete the following checklist before initiating the migration pipeline. Missing any item may cause validation failures or telemetry gaps.

✓

Admin Access
Root or sudo privileges on all target endpoints

✓

Network Reachability
Outbound TLS 1.3 to api.cybevauld.io:443 and agents.cybevauld.io:8443

✓

Export Credentials
Active API keys from your current security stack

✓

Certificate Chain
Valid X.509 certs for mutual TLS authentication

Migration Phases

1

Environment Audit & Configuration Export

Generate a complete configuration snapshot from your current environment. CyberVault's migration CLI will parse rules, policies, and asset inventories automatically.

cv-migrate audit --source legacy-siem \
  --export-dir ./migration-backup/ \
  --format json \
  --verbose

⚠️ Important

Do not modify the exported JSON files manually. The validation engine relies on cryptographic checksums to ensure configuration integrity during import.

2

Target Workspace Provisioning

Create a dedicated migration workspace in the CyberVault console. This isolates your transition environment from production until validation is complete.

cv-migrate init-workspace \
  --name "prod-migration-2025" \
  --region us-east-1 \
  --tier enterprise \
  --auto-scale

3

Agent Deployment & Data Sync

Deploy lightweight telemetry agents across your fleet. Agents will run in passive shadow mode first, validating packet capture and event correlation before taking over traffic routing.

# Install agent (Linux/macOS)
curl -fsSL https://agents.cybevauld.io/install.sh | sh

# Configure shadow mode
cv-agent config set mode=shadow \
  api-key=YOUR_WORKSPACE_KEY \
  buffer-size=4GB \
  retention=7d

4

Validation & Cutover

Run the automated validation suite to compare detection rates, latency, and rule coverage between source and target. Once the score reaches ≥98%, execute the live cutover.

cv-migrate validate --workspace prod-migration-2025

# If validation passes:
cv-migrate cutover \
  --confirm \
  --rollback-window 4h \
  --notify-on-call

✅ Success Criteria

Cutover is approved when all detection rules map correctly, packet loss is <0.1%, and SOC analysts confirm alert fidelity matches baseline benchmarks.

Troubleshooting

Common migration issues and their resolutions. If your scenario isn't listed, contact our migration engineering team via the console or support@cybevauld.io.

Migration CLI returns "Checksum Mismatch" on import

This occurs when configuration files are altered during transfer. Re-run the audit phase with --preserve-permissions and ensure no antivirus software is intercepting the export directory. Verify file integrity using sha256sum against the manifest.

Agents fail to establish TLS handshake

Outbound proxy or strict firewall rules are likely blocking port 8443. Add an allow rule for agents.cybevauld.io and ensure your system clock is synchronized via NTP. TLS 1.3 requires accurate timestamp validation.

Validation score stalls at 94%

Usually indicates unmapped legacy detection rules. Run cv-migrate diff-rules --verbose to identify gaps. Use the auto-mapping feature: cv-migrate auto-map --threshold medium to convert deprecated signatures to CyberVault's threat ontology.

Rollback fails after cutover

Rollback relies on the 4-hour safety window defined during cutover. If expired, trigger manual restoration: cv-migrate restore --snapshot latest --force. Notify your CISO as production routing will temporarily revert to legacy infrastructure.
