Background Information:
As you know, cybersecurity threats continue to increase in frequency and complexity. Earlier
this year, we contracted with a vendor to provide an IT security assessment for the City. The
results of that assessment included various remediation items including the procurement of tools
to ensure we have additional awareness of security vulnerabilities in our environment and that
good password practices are being used. Staff is recommending moving forward with the
purchase of security software that will enable us to comply with these recommendations.
