Notice Title
Internet Breakout to Enforce Web Protection
Notice Description
Internet Breakout - To enforce web protection through antivirus, intrusion protection, web filtering and outbreak protection as well as enabling firmware and general updates for the FortiGate. This allows internet access for users to be appropriately protected from unwanted or malicious content.
Procurement Information
CNC are transitioning to a new network provider under our FuNDS project. The need for the Internet Breakout in its current format will not be required when fully transitioned. However, it is crucial for CNC to retain the current services for those sites still to transition, to ensure we remain safe and secure. It is anticipated that the current service will be required for 6 months. Any tender process would prove to be time consuming, disruptive and not cost effective. If we do not continue with the service through Nasstar our network will be vulnerable to security threats. We will lose out on essential security features like intrusion prevention, web filtering and antivirus. We will also expose ourselves to newly discovered vulnerability because we won't have received firmware updates that are designed to detect and mitigate such things malware viruses and data breaches and unauthorised access to sensitive information and data etc.
