Tender: Network Access Control Implementation – Canadian Light Source (Device Authentication, Segmentation & Visibility)

About

Canadian Light Source is seeking a supplier for a Network Access Control (NAC) solution to authenticate and authorize all devices before granting network access, enforce security policies, segment network traffic, and provide real-time visibility of connected devices. The CLS network includes managed computers, scientific instruments, building control systems, and devices used by visiting researchers, and currently allows devices to connect without authentication or authorization, creating security risks. This initiative supports CLS's broader cybersecurity strategy and compliance requirements, and the tender document outlines the technical, functional, and operational requirements to guide selection, deployment, management, and implementation of the NAC solution.
