- Description
- Palo Alto cards are vendor specific and if third party vendor cards are purchased and placed in Palo Alto Chasis�s, the vendor will not support this configuration. If the vendor does not support this configuration, it places DFAS into a category 1 situation for running unsupported hardware. The DFAS Cyber Security Service Provider (CSSP) is required to comply with DoD mandates on Security Technical Implementation Guidelines, Task Orders, and mandates ranging from increased inspection to decryption and Web Application Firewall (WAF) capabilities, which need to be in place for connectivity to the DODIN. This purchase ensures that DFAS aligns with the JRSS requirements and meets the DoD requirements that all agencies must comply with. This specific purchase expands the network capacity to maximize the use of remote collaboration tools in response to COVID-19 and protect against future pandemics. This procurement allows DFAS to receive the best value for previous investments in the ELAN Infrastructure and as such, the use of any other manufacturer will incur substantial transition costs, considerable downtime time, and engineering efforts, forcing the potential of unplanned outages and business line downtime.
