7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
The City's information technology (IT) staff is recommending that the City replace the current
anti -virus platform (ESET NOD 32) to a more modern and effective threat prevention solution
(CylancePROTECT). The IT staff has been running the Cylance solution in the environment as a
pilot program and has found it to be more effective at identifying and stopping threats,
dramatically easier to manage, and has a significantly smaller footprint on the client machines
which increases performance for our end users.
The City solicited three quotes for this purchase and received two. Sidepath, Inc. agreed to
provide the same unit price it had given the County of Orange and, as a result, offered the lowest
price. Therefore, staff is recommending that the City purchase a three -year CylancePROTECT
license from Sidepath, Inc. in the amount of $92,132.26, which will be paid in annual
installments of $44,729.26 in year one, $35,552.25 in year two, and $11,850.75 in year three.
Funding is currently available in the IT operating budget for the first installment. Future
installments will be budgeted in subsequent fiscal years.
