Network detection and response (NDR) solution

Victoria and Albert Museum · Contract details notice on Find a Tender

Tender information last checkedLast checked 5 Oct 2026, 07:56.

Opportunity overview

We have renewed and expanded our current NDR implementation to include the new East London sites of V&A East Storehouse and V&A East Museum and to ensure our cybersecurity protections cover our entire network of sites. NDR is crucial for modern cybersecurity as it helps identify, respond to, and mitigate sophisticated cyber threats that traditional security measures may overlook. It can identify anomalous activities that may indicate cyber threats, such as malware, insider threats, or lateral movement within the network.
