Notice Description

COPFS existing perimeter firewalls are approaching end of life and will soon be considered legacy by the manufacturers, meaning there will be no further security patches or software updates released for these devices.

Recognising the business impact of this, COPFS have analysed the options to replace the existing firewalls with suitable replacements.
