RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Chief Information Officer, Department of Information Technology (DoIT), a purchase order with order with CDW Government, LLC in an amount not to exceed $1,525,000, and a subscription agreement with Tanium, Inc, for the purchase of Tanium Endpoint Licenses and Enterprise Services for the period of March 15, 2022 through March 14, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost for implementing Tanium’s cloud-based platform will be paid in yearly installments and is included in the Department of Information Technology’s Security budget. (100% General Fund)

BACKGROUND:

Tanium is a component and application management software that allows network systems administrators the ability to manage, patch, and control applications within their network environments. Tanium also allows network administrators the ability to provision and deprovision account access, manage users, user roles, and identities within their environments. As an additional security element, Tanium allows network and systems administrators the ability to identify software vulnerabilities and quickly apply remediation efforts in order to maintain a secure working environment. This software will be deployed on a County wide basis, excluding the Health Services Department.

The agreement is for three years and County can terminate the agreement for an uncured breach by Tanium, or if the Board of Supervisors does not appropriate funds in a fiscal year for payments due to Tanium under the agreement

Under the agreement, the County is obligated to indemnify Tanium for third party claims arising out of County data in the system that violates third party’s rights, or use of the software in a manner prohibited or restricted by the agreement, or violation of applicable law, or County’s breach of the vendor’s acceptable use policy.

The agreement limits Tanium’s liability to the County to the amount of fees paid by County in the twelve months preceding the events giving rise to the claim

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, the County will be unable to move forward with this cloud-based solution and will negatively impact DoIT’s network administrators’ ability to manage vulnerabilities quickly and efficiently.
