INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM Information Technologies Department 227 W Jefferson Blvd (574) 246-6000 TO: Board of Public Works, Linda Martin CC: Dan O'Connor, Michael Schmidt, George King, John Murphy FROM: Michael Sniadecki SUBJECT: Advanced Malware Protection DATE: 9/20/16 Linda and Members of the Board - We are submitting for review and approval, a quote for Cisco AMP — Advanced Malware Protection. Subject to Capital Lease Financing, this will be a purchase of an appliance and a 3 year subscription -based solution that allows us to obtain global threat intelligence, advanced sandboxing and real-time malware blocking to prevent breaches and security incidents. This new solution will protect our network, endpoints, web traffic and our email. Currently we do not have a solution for these threats. The Innovation & Technology Department had 3 security assessments performed in 2016 to help identify our network security posture. Our team worked with consultants to create a remediation plan for problems and weaknesses that were identified. This project will help to progress the remediation steps by continuously analyzing file activity across our extended network, so we can quickly detect, contain, and remove advanced malware. This was noted by the consultant as the number 1 priority in strengthening our security posture. Thank you. Michael Sniadecki
