body
DEPARTMENT: Information Technology
SUBMITTED BY: Jacqueline Nguyen, Director
BACKGROUND:
On January 4, 2020, Staff observed and analyzed an anomaly in the network. Staff investigated the anomaly but due to today’s security environment, we believed there was also a need to bring in additional support for further analysis. The event was determined to be benign and not a threat to the network.
DISCUSSION:
Due to the time-sensitive nature of the work, an emergency procurement was approved by the Chief Procurement Officer on January 4, 2020, per Section 1-9B-4:6 Emergency Procurements of the Naperville Procurement Code.
Cisco equipment is used extensively in the City’s network, making Cisco resources the best option to engage immediately. An existing State of Illinois Cooperative Contract, #CMS7891190, was identified to procure the services.
Only a portion of the funds have been spent to date. The Chief Procurement Officer approved funds up to $100,000 to obtain access to the Cisco incident response team to investigate the anomaly, with the remaining funds for future consulting services to strengthen the City’s security posture.
FISCAL IMPACT:
