STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This action supports Key Focus Area: Pursue Organizational Excellence and Collaborative and Respectful
Leadership.
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
The Technology Services (TS) Department utilizes the Incident Response Retainer and Proactive Cyber
Security Services from International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) as an integral part of our Cyber
Security posture. The Incident Response Retainer ensures that we can call upon leading industry resources
in the event of a Cyber Security Incident that goes beyond our capacity to handle or requires a larger number
of resources in a short period of time. Having the ability to engage these services and resources can mean
crucial time is not wasted during an event and can help contain the event to limit damages to the City of
Denton.
Pricing obtained through the Department of Information Resources (DIR) Cooperative Purchasing Network
has been competitively bid and meets the statutory requirements of Texas Local Government Code 271.102
