IWA ICT services support a variety of users across our environment to include corporate staff users, contractors, students, volunteers, guest and members who utilise IWA ICT services and internet access. IWA require support for both corporate owned and BYOD devices and endpoints. IWA operate a fleet of 45 firewalls supporting IWA fixed and wireless networks across IWA sites within the Republic of Ireland. IWA is governed by GDPR legislation.

IWA wish to leverage latest firewall technologies, Artificial Intelligence and machine learning capabilities to improve threat protection and detection and improve threat response for IWA, to not rely solely on signature-based security. The firewall solution will support IWA to maintain compliant firewall rules and protect sensitive data in line with best practices.
