Title

Consideration of and action on approval of a thirty-six-month (36) agreement with ePlus Technologies for Managed Detection Response (MDR) service purchased under DIR contract #DIR-TSO-4288.

 

Body

Summary:                       

MDR (Managed Detection and Response) services are crucial today because the cybersecurity landscape is increasingly complex and sophisticated, making it difficult for most organizations to maintain a 24/7 security posture with their own internal teams; MDR provides access to expert threat hunters and incident responders who can continuously monitor for threats, detect even advanced attacks, and take immediate action to mitigate damage, effectively offloading the burden of round-the-clock cybersecurity management onto specialized providers.

Year 1 -                                          $31,419.76

Year 2-                                          $24,299.60

Year 3-                                          $24,299.60

 

Fiscal/Budgetary Impact: 

The expenditures associated with this agreement for the first year are included in the 2024-25 Information Technology Budget (#10-200-42820).

 

Recommended action
