Request
I am currently embarking on a research project around Cyber Security and was hoping you could provide me with some contract information relating to the following information:
You may have received the same request in the past and this information sent has now expired and I require an update as soon as possible for the following information. If nothing but the expiry date has changed then please provide me with the new expiry date:
1. Standard Firewall (Network) - Firewall service protects your corporate Network from unauthorised access and other Internet security threats
2. Anti-virus Software Application - Anti-virus software is a program or set of programs that are designed to prevent, search for, detect, and remove software viruses, and other malicious software like worms, trojans, adware, and more.
3. Microsoft Enterprise Agreement - is a volume licensing package offered by Microsoft.
The information I require is around the procurement side and we do not require any specifics (serial numbers, models, location) that could bring threat/harm to the organisation.
For each of the different types of cyber security services can you please provide me with:
1. Who is the existing supplier for this contract?
2. What does the organisation annually spend for each of the contracts?
3. What is the description of the services provided for each contract?
4. Primary Brand (ONLY APPLIES TO CONTRACT 1&2)
5. What is the expiry date of each contract?
6. What is the start date of each contract?
7. What is the contract duration of the contract?
