Amendment 1 is for the provision of a network environment susceptibility test and report. The test consists of distributing sensors throughout the County’s network and running simulated malicious cyberattacks against the County’s network and sensors. The collective results from both assessments will be used to develop a 3 year Cyber Security Strategy/Plan.
