Network Access Control

The University of Saskatchewan is seeking a Network Access Control solution for the Canadian Light Source to secure its diverse network of scientific instruments, building control systems, and researcher devices. The primary objective is to eliminate the current risk of unauthenticated device access by implementing a system that enforces security policies, segments network traffic, and provides real-time visibility of all connected hardware. This initiative is a critical component of the organization's broader cybersecurity strategy and compliance framework. This solicitation, identified as RFP57408-002, was posted on September 28, 2026, with a response deadline of October 16, 2026. The project will be performed in Saskatchewan, and interested parties can coordinate with the primary point of contact, Janith Abeywardena. The resulting contract will cover the selection, deployment, and ongoing management of the NAC solution to ensure all devices are properly authenticated and authorized before gaining network access.
