Approval of Cybersecurity Agreement for Sheriff's Office
body
REQUESTED MOTION:
To approve and authorize execution of an agreement with OTM Cyber for the provision of cybersecurity hardware, software, and related services for the DeSoto County Sheriff's Office.
SUMMARY:
OTM Cyber supports the Sheriff’s Office 911 center and would watch the computer network around the clock for hackers and other threats. The goal is to catch an attack before it can disrupt call-taking, dispatch, or the records the center relies on.
PUBLIC RECORDS EXEMPTION: The cybersecurity agreement for the Sheriff's Office has not been attached to the published agenda materials because it contains information that is confidential and exempt from public disclosure pursuant to Sections 119.0725(2)(c) and (d), Florida Statutes, including information concerning cybersecurity hardware and software configurations, detection and response practices, and security measures. Disclosure of such information could compromise the security of the Sheriff's Office's information technology systems and data. A copy of the agreement has been provided separately to each member of the Board of County Commissioners for review and consideration in connection with this agenda item. A redacted version of the agreement, excluding information exempt from public disclosure, may be provided upon request in accordance with applicable public records laws.
