Title
Authorizing the disappropriation, appropriation, and expenditure of $90,000 from the Street Construction, Maintenance, and Repair Fund for cybersecurity testing and evaluation of the traffic management system; authorizing the Mayor to enter into a contract for said purpose; waiving the competitive bidding provisions of TMC Chapter 187; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Division of Traffic Management is responsible for 492 traffic signals throughout the city. These signals utilize software that could potentially be the target of cybersecurity threats, which if attacked, could result in damages to the safety and efficiency of traffic flow, and on a broader level, allow hackers access to network operations.
The division is working closely with the Information Technology Division to provide specialized cybersecurity testing including internal vulnerability assessment, internal and external penetration testing, and physical penetration testing. They will also provide an evaluation of operational capabilities including governance, change management, business continuity management, incident response, and vulnerability management.
This legislation will allow for the disappropriation and reappropriation of funds within Traffic Management’s 2024 operating budget in order for IT to enter into contracts for these cybersecurity services.
