Summary Explanation/Background:
The City has been awarded a grant from the State of Florida to provide cybersecurity technical assistance aimed at strengthening our overall cybersecurity posture and resiliency. We are requesting City Commission approval to authorize the City Manager to sign the one-year grant agreement.
This assistance will be delivered through a combination of software, licenses, tools, and support services, including:
• Endpoint-Based Asset Discovery - A solution focused on infrastructure that discovers network-connected devices and provides a comprehensive inventory of hardware and software assets across your enterprise. Agents are typically deployed to all laptop, desktop, and server devices.
• Network-Based Asset Discovery - A solution providing enterprise visibility into managed, unmanaged, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices discovered via network traffic.
• External-Facing Asset Discovery - A web-facing attack surface discovery tool that provides a continuously updated inventory and vulnerability scanning of all global internet-facing assets to detect on-premises and cloud systems.
• Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) - An agent deployed to each endpoint, including desktops, laptops, and servers, runs autonomously on each device and monitors all processes in real-time to provide enterprise visibility, analytics, and automated response.
• Security Operations Platform - Providing 24/7/365 monitoring and initial incident investigations to augment security staffing.
Several of these services are already in use by the City through prior state-funded awards.
This grant does not provide direct funding to the City and does not require any matching funds.
