Project Description

This project funds the replacement of Internet firewalls every five years. Cybersecurity is more important than ever to the welfare of any organization. These firewalls are the main Internet entry and exit point for Town Internet communications. There is a need to increase the speed and intelligence of the existing system to address the modern cyber threats and also handle new technologies such as video and other agency partnerships. These systems are purchased in pairs to provide failover capabilities and ensure unfiltered protection for the organization.
