9.3. Approval of Managed Security Services with Arctic Wolf
|
|
| Speaker(s): |
Noor
|
|
|
Description:
The district has been working towards enhancing our data and security posture in the light of an ever-increasing cybersecurity risk environment. 916 Technology is proposing that we transition from our existing device and server security monitoring, to a more comprehensive whole network and cloud monitoring service. In addition to the device monitoring currently required by our insurance carrier (called Endpoint Security), which monitors for security risks and breaches on user devices and servers, this new service would add monitoring and threat response to ALL of our local and cloud-based data infrastructure, monitoring activity in Microsoft O365, Google Cloud, Laserfiche, and even on-site network hardware. This service, called Managed Detection and Response, is not required by our insurance carrier, but is recommended and will help us continue to keep our cyber insurance premiums low. Last year, the MN Legislature added the ability to add MDR services using the safe schools budget, which allows us to fund this transition. Several companies were reviewed, and a decision was made to contract this service through the Eden Praire based Arctic Wolf security company. The purchase would be facilitated through our Sourcewell joint purchasing contract 121923. |
