PUBLISHED DESCRIPTION

What the notice says

In 2020, SLC selected Cortex XDR as its strategic replacement for onsite antivirus technology. Cortex XDR provides malware detection and response, initiating actions based on configured rulesets. This platform offers a higher level of protection for SLC's estate, which faces more advanced threats, especially with staff working remotely. Additionally, SLC uses Cortex to protect its server estate. The platform is also central to enabling SLC's managed Security Operations Centre (SOC) service to monitor the estate. This procurement was to renew the 6500 end points required.
