Ms. Girard,
The Information Technology Department is presenting the 3-year renewal of the Palo Alto Firewall

$3,000 over the 3-year term.
This is the firewall device that offers the first line of defense against cyber security threats on the
City’s backup Internet line.
The Information Technology Department recommends renewing the Palo Alto Firewall for backup
Internet line through New Era Technology of Portsmouth, NH for a total amount of $24,522.80.
