AGENDA ITEM TITLE:
Consider approval to apply for and if awarded, accept funds from the FEMA Cybersecurity Grant for Penetration Testing as a sub-recipient in the amount up to $5,200.00, including $1,040.00 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 awarded.
The funds from this grant will be used to address the ongoing cybersecurity threat to municipalities by testing our network security here at the City. We will hire a responsible company to test our defenses by attempting to break in, much like any bad actor would do. This will allow us to identify any weaknesses and make appropriate changes to mitigate any threats and keep our systems, information and customer data safe as well as ensure we are able to continue to provide our citizens with the services they need.
The request for $1,040 in matching grant funds will allow us to bring in $4,160 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.
