About
Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service awarded a contract to Insight Direct (UK) Ltd for the replacement of existing perimeter firewalls that were approaching end of life and would soon be considered legacy by manufacturers, meaning no further security patches or software updates would be released.
Fewer vendors offered support and management services for these devices, restricting options available to COPFS when securing these services.
Recognising the business impact, COPFS analysed options to replace the existing firewalls with suitable replacements.
The contract value was AUD 220,972.14.
