Firewall and Web Filtering Services

The Trust is seeking a comprehensive firewall and web filtering solution to secure internet access across all educational sites. The solution must protect users, devices, and services from cyber threats and inappropriate content while supporting safeguarding compliance through robust monitoring, alerting, and reporting capabilities. The system should offer centralized management with flexibility for site-specific operational requirements. It must support both on-premises and remote access for users and devices, deliver value for money throughout the contract term, and scale seamlessly as pupil numbers, device counts, bandwidth needs, and the site estate evolve. Suppliers should demonstrate experience in educational settings and the ability to integrate with existing Trust infrastructure.
