G. CYBERSECURITY SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT WITH DARKTRACE FOR A\nTWELVE-MONTH PERIOD IN THE AMOUNT OF $38,335\nCybersecurity is essential to ensuring the uninterrupted operation of City\nservices. The sensitive nature of the Police Department’s Information\nTechnology network—as well as compliance requirements from State and\nFederal Department of Justice—necessitates an additional layer of security. The\nannual subscription cost for citywide coverage is $38,335, which has been\nbudgeted in the Fiscal Year 2024–2025 Information Technology Internal Service\nFund. The remaining $120,521 quoted on the subscription agreement is for a\nseparate Darktrace solution and will be funded through the California\nGovernor’s Office of Emergency Services grant previously accepted by the City\nCouncil on March 4, 2025.\nCalifornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: Not a Project as\ndefined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines.\nRecommended Action:\nStaff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter\ninto a subscription agreement with Darktrace for enhanced cybersecurity\nprotection.
