RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Chief Information Officer, Department of Information Technology, a purchase order to Presidio Networked Solutions Group, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $195,000 for the acquisition of Cisco Stealthwatch software and maintenance for the period May 14, 2019 through July 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost of $195,000 is budgeted under Org #1055 FY 18/19 and recovered through the Department of Information Technology’s billing process.

BACKGROUND:

The Department of Information Technology is purchasing the Cisco Stealthwatch software subscription solution to increase the visibility of the County’s network. The Cisco Stealthwatch solution is a single, agentless solution that allows visibility across an extended network, including endpoints, branch, datacenter and cloud, allowing for encrypted traffic analytics.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This subscription service is utilized in securing wireless network connectivity in facilities, Countywide. The software subscription can:

Detect malware in encrypted traffic without decryption
Speed up incident and response forensics
Simplify network segmentation
Help secure the County Data Center

Cisco will provide support for the application under the County’s August 10, 2018 support agreement with Cisco.

In accordance with Administrative Bulletin No 611.0, County Departments are required to obtain Board approval for contracts exceeding $100,000. The County Administrator’s Office has reviewed this request and recommends approval.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to secure the County’s network may result in a compromised system, system failure, and interrupted business.
