cyber threats.
Report to Redding City Council February 27,2025
Re: 4.3(a)--Additional Endpoint Security Licenses Page 2
Since implementation of the new endpoint protection system, it has been determined that
additional lieenses are needed to provide continued endpoint security protection on the additional.
devices that the City has placed into service. Every City device requires licensed endpoint
security protection as part of the overall cyber security plan. Approving this action ensures that
there is minimized downtime for staff when they are issued a City device.
Environmental Review
This is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further
action is required.

9A. Removal of Aaron Hatch from the Redding Planning Commission.
Mayor Audette summarized that her position that Planning Commissioner Hatch misused
his position on the Planning Commission and caused hours of unnecessary work for staff.
She commended him for his hard work and effort during the process of writing the City of
Redding's General Plan, stating that she thought he asked the tough questions during the
policy phases resulting in hundreds of changes in the policy language. I�owever, at the
Planning Commission meeting when the General Plan was to be considered for approval,
Mr. Hatch voted no, and stated that he felt staff was designing an outcome. For this,Mayor
Audette feels Mr. Hatch owes Director Pagan and City Attorney Curtis an apology for Mr.
Natch's comments,as well as possible re�noval from the Planning Commission a11 together.
Aaron �Iatch stated that the role of the Planning Commission is to be an advisory body to
the City Council with Commissioners appointed by the City Council. He opined that their
responsibility is to direct the short- and long-range growth and development of the City of
Redding, specifically to guide and construct the General Plan, associated specific plans
pertaining to land use and ordinances. Mr. Hatch advised the Council that he had met with
City Attorney Curtis, and Director Pagan and that his interpretation of the meeting was that
they had found mutual ground to move forward in a working relationship.

SUBJECT: 4.3(a)--Endpoint Security Replacement
Recommendation
Authorize the City Manager to finalize contract negotiations and execute a three-year agreement
with the Center for Internet Security, in an amount not to exceed $222,'750, for endpoint security
protection and 24x7x365 endpoint monitoring services for the City of Redding.
Fiscal Impact
There will be no fiscal impact as a result of this agreement. Funds for end point security were
appropriated during the City of Redding's Biennial Budget 2023-25 process. Additionally, due to
increased services that would be provided by the Center for Internet Security (CIS), the City of
Redding's (City) Information Technology (IT) Department will realize savings by terminating
agreements for other duplicative cyber security solutions.
Alternative Action
The City Council could chaose to not approve this contract with CIS and provide alternative
direction to staff.
Background/Analysis
IT currently utilizes Carbon B1ack for the City's cyber security endpoint protection. In the past,
the City would purchase its Carbon Black licenses and support from Dell; however, due to
corporate ehanges and restructuring, Dell announced they would no longer renew our Carbon
Black support. As of now, our support is scheduled to expire on June 16, 2024.
It is imperative that the City retain a strong cyber security posture which means a new endpoint
security solution must be acquired. After reaching out to other government agencies the City's
Cyber Security Officer discovered a solution provided by CIS. CIS is a nonprofit, community
driven organization that is dedicated to making the Internet a safer place. They receive funding
Report to Redding City Council May 1, 2024
Re: 4.3(a)--Endpoint Security Replacement Page 2
from the Department of Homeland Security and other federal sources that subsidizes the cost of
resources and services such as their Endpoint Security Services (ESS). CIS resources and
services are provided to state, 1oca1, tribal, and territorial government entities for reduced cost or
sometimes free. The City already takes advantage of the Multi-State Information Sharing and
Analysis Center and CIS Benchmarks provided by CIS.
CIS ESS utilizes best-in-class, endpoint protection from CrowdStrike, CrowdStrike partnered
with CIS to provide security services to approved governments agencies, such as the City.
Through ESS, the City would be able to leverage various cyber security solutions such as
CrowdStrike's Falcon Prevent, Falcon Insight, Falcon Spotlight, Falcon Discover, Falcon Device
Control, and Falcon Firewall Management at a discounted price. Additionally, CIS ESS provides
a 24x7x365 Security Operations Center to monitor endpoint security, provide threat hunting,
malware analysis, and incident response. As the City and its operations become more technology
focus, services such as this monitoring are extremely valuable.
As proposed, the City Manager would negotiate a contract between the City and Center for
Internet Security to provide endpoint cyber security solutions and 24x7x365 endpoint monitoring
services for a three-year term in amount not to exceed $222,750.
Envi�^onmental Review
This is not a project defined under California Environmental Quality Act, and no future action is
required.
