RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with Cyware Labs Inc., in an amount not to exceed $60,000 for the purchase of Cyware’s Cyware Situational Awareness Platform (CSAP) including licensing, maintenance, and priority technical support plan (TSP), for the period of November 1, 2021, through October 31, 2024. The purchase order will include limitations of liability for damages arising from a party’s infringement of the other party’s intellectual property rights, damages arising from a party’s breach of its confidentiality obligations, and damages arising from a party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this purchase order will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $60,000 for a three-year period and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues through prior venture fund dollars.

BACKGROUND:

Cyware’s CSAP Platform provides an automated threat alert aggregation and information sharing platform that equips key security personnel across all County departments with information to improve situational awareness and resilience when responding to a cyber security incident. The CSAP solution includes solutions such as automated alert aggregation & dissemination, mobile-enabled communication & actioning, and real-time strategic & operational threat intelligence sharing. After initial deployment, this will be expanded for use by 10 other Bay Area counties.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this purchase order is not approved, Health Services and the County must rely on outdated and possibly compromised communication channels when responding to a cyber incident.
