Tender description

The PA5250 Palo Alto firewall provides essential network security for Coventry University's core business.

The firewall needs to dynamically update its signatures every 30 minutes to provide robust protection at the perimeter (facing the internet). This is a direct award to the Supplier against the Health Trust Europe Framework on the basis that only the winning supplier can provide the advantageous cost terms.
