DESCRIPTION
A university in North Carolina seeks a vendor to provide a cloud-based Web Application Firewall (WAF) solution to replace its current on-premises F5 environment. The selected provider will deliver a comprehensive, user-friendly WAF platform that ensures web application security, load balancing, traffic management, and seamless integration with the institution's security monitoring tools. The solution should support both on-premises and cloud-hosted applications, with a focus on minimal configuration requirements and an intuitive administrative interface.
The vendor will be responsible for all phases of deployment, including proof of concept, migration planning, implementation, testing, training, and transition to production operations. Core technical requirements include SSL automation for client connectivity, support for cloud environments (OCI, AWS, Azure, etc.), highly available and geographically diverse infrastructure, 24/7 technical support, and full migration support from the current F5 LTM/AWAF/ASM environment.
The WAF must provide robust layer 7 inspection, decrypting and analyzing web traffic while maintaining end-to-end encryption and supporting multiple HTTP protocols and IP versions. Compatibility with advanced cryptographic standards such as TLS 1.3 is required, with quantum resistance features on the vendor roadmap. The contract will span a three-year period.
