## Description

Historic England currently operates using a defense-in-depth model for network and device security\. We have determined that we have gaps in the coverage in that we do not run a zero-day anti-malware service for end-user devices and servers\. The anti-virus product that we use may provide insufficient protection against evolving variants and zero-day threats\. We are not planning on removing or changing the existing anti-virus product, but are seeking a complimentary solution to plug this gap\. We have therefore resolved to tender for, and purchase an anti-malware service as detailed below\. It is expected that this anti-malware service will be in conformity to our general strategy of cloud-first provision\. We currently use Microsoft System Centre Endpoint Protection as our anti-virus solution and the new anti-malware service must operate cleanly and in concert with the existing anti-virus service\.

Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
