You asked for

I am currently embarking on a research project around Cyber Security and was hoping you could provide me with some contract information relating to following information:

  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 softwareviruses, 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?
