RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute a purchase order in the amount of $100,000 with Presidio Networked Solutions Group, LLC for Cisco Security Advisory Subscription Services for the Library, as recommended by the Chief Information Officer.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost for Cisco Security Advisory Subscription Services is $100,000 for 160 work hours for the Incident Response Team to remediate the threat and restore services to the Library.

BACKGROUND:

On January 3, 2020, the Library sustained a Ransomware attack on their administrative network. In working to secure the network, DoIT determined more tools and services were needed. As a result of the attack, the Library staff were unable to access any files stored on their servers. The attack also affected their ability to receive and send email. In addition, public printing, their internet connection and the Wi-Fi network were damaged, making them inaccessible to staff and citizens utilizing Library locations.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Library’s infrastructure will be at risk. Critical Services would take longer to restore, causing further service impacts to citizens.
