Body
Information Contact: Cathryn G. Horner, Director

PURPOSE:
This request is to purchase the MVISION software for our existing cyber security solution, McAfee Suite. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, employees are now working remotely and sometimes using non-county computers. This contributes to the significant increase in our cyber security risk. MVISION is the latest upgrade to our current suite of products and services. Without this upgrade, the County will be using obsolete and unsupported software, increasing the cyber security risk for all business systems and data.
