Title
Agreement for Palo Alto Firewall Renewal Subscriptions
Overview
As part of the Orange County Transportation Authority’s Fiscal Year 2022-23 Budget, the Orange County Transportation Authority Board of Directors approved expenditures for Palo Alto renewal subscriptions. Palo Alto provides firewall hardware and services used as Orange County’s Transportation Authority’s primary cybersecurity defense for all connections into and out of the Orange County Transportation Authority Nevada data center, Orange Administration building, and five bus bases. A firewall is a network security device used to monitor incoming and outgoing network traffic and permits or blocks this traffic based on the organization’s security rules. Palo Alto subscriptions provide licensing and services needed for these firewalls to meet the federal, state, and Orange County Transportation Authority policy requirements. Bids were received in accordance with the Orange County Transportation Authority’s procurement procedures. Board of Directors’ approval is requested to execute the agreement.
