Descripción

Headquarters (HQ) Air Mobility Command (AMC) Communications Directorate (A67A) requires the purchase of Brand Name Only Palo Alto software. Palo Alto is a virtual (software) firewall that supports EACN's 10 gigabit architecture and enhances customer connection ability. The licenses required for this requirement are Palo Alto Networks VM-Series, Next Gen Firewall (NGFW) credits for Threat Prevention and Palo Alto Networks Premium Support Program for Panorama. The BNO Palo Alto Software is required to support EACNs security policies to maintain positive control of the network, improve security efficacy and reduce security response times. These virtual machines are needed to analyze traffic to identify users/applications and determine applicable content. Without these licenses, EACN would become significantly compromised, presenting a larger attack surface for potential cyber threats. In addition, a gap in support could cause a network interruption in communications service and security. Palo Alto is the only software certified to be used with EACN and is the industry standard. Palo Alto is an other than small business selling these licenses through authorized resellers.
