City Council Memorandum Information Technology Memo No. N/A
Date:
February 6, 2023
To:
Mayor and Council
Thru:
Joshua H. Wright, City Manager
Dawn Lang, Deputy City Manager - CFO
Sandip Dholakia, Chief Information Officer
From:
Owen Zorge, Chief Information Security Officer
Subject:
Purchase of Proofpoint Network Security Software
Proposed Motion:
Move City Council approve the purchase of Proofpoint network security software, from SHI International, Inc., utilizing the Omnia Partners Contract No. 2018011-02, in an amount not to exceed $222,711, for the period of one year, beginning April 11, 2023, through April 10, 2024.
Background/Discussion:
The City of Chandler's data security roadmap includes prevention of confidential data loss and data security breaches. Detection, prevention, and encryption technologies help to ensure information is not disclosed via email messages that could lead to identity theft or data breaches. Staff is requesting approval to continue the use of this technology with the City's current email system to prevent data loss and unintentional exposures, as well as facilitate the ability to send messages via specific security policies utilizing data encryption. These email security services have been in use since 2005.
This request also includes new features. Isolation Browser is a tool which provides additional protection to the City network through its ability to isolate work that needs to be done on suspicious websites or the dark web by Police Department personnel. The other new module is Targeted Attach Protection, which further analyzes and blocks advanced threats before reaching the inbox of City employees. Additionally, this purchase includes a full suite of recent and engaging security awareness and anti-phishing training to educate our City users how to protect the City by following security best practices and identifying and reporting threats and incidents.
Securing the City's electronic messaging systems and training users on security best practices meets liability, risk management, and regulatory compliance objectives.
Evaluation:
The City of Mesa, on behalf of Omnia Partners, competitively solicited and awarded a contract for information technology solutions and services. The City has a current agreement with Omnia Partners allowing for the cooperative use of its contracts.
