In and effort to continue to improve our cyber security program, the City of Independence is in need of cyber security analyst services from TriCom Technical Services. This purchase provides a full time cyber security analyst to the City with a contract to hire option at the end of the term. TriCom Technical Services will source a qualified candidate from a very competitive and low-volume/high-demand candidate pool in the Kansas City metro area. This purchase transfers the hiring risk to TriCom and ensure the city receives a proven well-qualified and capable security analyst. Some of the goals for this contract are to monitor alerts, identify risks, work with City staff and partners to develop mitigation plans and execute those mitigation plans. This contract will also assist with developing and enforcing security policies and procedures that meet industry best practices. |
