Request for Board Action:
Agenda Text
The Board is requested to authorize the County Manager to execute a service contract to Microsoft Detection and Response Team (DART) in the amount of $73,800. IS&T received investigative services from Microsoft to ensure the Office 365 environment was free of malicious software and provide guidance to recovering files that may have been encrypted from the cyberattack.
Information Services and Technology (IS&T) is requesting funds to support the expense.
This was a one-time service and will be funded out of the IS&T Operational budget. However, due to the nature of the service, all or a portion of the cost may be reimbursable from the county’s Cyber Insurance Policy.
These expenses will be reimbursed due to cyber insurance.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: Goal 5 - accountable, efficient, and visionary government
Resource Persons: Greg Marrow, CIO and Lyvon Garth, IS&T Manager
County Manager’s Recommendation: The County Manager recommends that the Board authorize the County Manager to execute a service contract to Microsoft Detection and Response Team (DART) in the amount of $73,800.
