Email Security Platform

Currently, the Senedd has a contract in place providing an e-mail security platform, which forms an important part of the organisations cyber security infrastructure and programme. The solution delivers advanced e-mail filtering functionality, gives end users the ability to report suspicious messages, and provides phishing simulation capability. This additional layer of security ensures we are far more likely to detect and stop attacks, which are not detected by our Microsoft e-mail and security products, and includes Welsh/English delivery and end user interaction. This projects is designed to ensure the Senedd is able to benefit from this type of capability for the next contract cycle.

The proposed solution will need to give end users the ability to report suspicious e-mails and provide the security team with a native and efficient means of communicating with the affected users, regardless of the end users’ platform/OS. The proposed platform will include phishing simulation and, linked to it, interactive training content, which will also allow tracking users’ ability to spot potentially malicious messages. End-user-facing content needs to offer bi-lingual delivery, tailored to users’ language preference.

The Senedd is looking to replace its current e-mail security platform. The contract will include the supply and installation of the solution, with ongoing support.

The term of the contract will be for a 5 year period.
