AGENDA ITEM TITLE:
Consider approval to apply for and if awarded, accept funds from the FEMA Cybersecurity Grant for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) software as a sub-recipient in the amount of up to $21,000.00, including up to $4,200.00 from the matching grant fund, or take other necessary action. (Chris Cummings)
BACKGROUND:
The State of Oklahoma applied for and received grant funds from FEMA to address cybersecurity for the state and agencies within the state. We are applying for funds as a sub-recipient of this grant. Any award will be an 80/20 match, with the City responsible for 20% of the total amount.
The funds from this grant will be used to address the ongoing cybersecurity threat to municipalities by installing System Information and Event Management (SIEM) software that will monitor various system logs and aggregate the data to allow us to see coordinated attacks and mitigate them.
The matching grant fund request for $4,200.00 will allow us to possibly receive $16,800.00 in state and federal funds.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approval to accept the funds from the Cybersecurity grant, if awarded.
Fiscal Impact
FUNDING SOURCE:
Matching funds will come from the City's grant match fund.
