COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October23, 2019
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Security Software Purchase
RECOMMENDATION: Provide authorization for the City Manager to
purchase updated network security software not to
exceed $18,000.00 and to follow procurement
procedures for its purchase.
BACKGROUND:
Recently, municipalities like the City of Sebastian have become increasingly valuable
targets for security breaches and attacks.
We are looking to update our current intrusion protection and monitor software to try to
detect the latest attacks. The software also will be used by IT staff to get the needed
information to document attempts.
We recommend approval of this item as it will assist the MIS Division in detecting and
protecting the City from potential threats. This purchase will follow all procurement
procedures and will not exceed the
$18,000 in the total contract agreement.

Amount Budgeted in Current FY: $ $ 30,000.00
