The Welsh Assemblyis to secure more
than 700 network security devices as part of a programme to drive
improvements in public service delivery and inter-agency
working.
The project aims to protect the network from increasingly
sophisticated threats and ensure that highly sensitive data, such
as citizen records, is safe.
Dns will play a part in the seven-year £74m Welsh Assembly
Public Sector Broadband Aggregation project as a sub-contractor to
Logicalis.
As part of the contract, dns will manage the network's 700-plus
security devices using its Managed Firewall & VPN service, and
will provide its managed content security service to ensure safe
web browsing on the internet.
Dns will also provide its Managed Strong Authentication service
to allow secure authentication to the network for particular user
groups.
