Information Technology Department – GML104B
CDW/G – Sourcewell 081419-CDW
Term – July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024
Amount of Subscription – $121,500.00
Account Number – 450-5164-100000-2630-B2300 (2023-2024 Contractual Account)
Scope – The existing Malwarebytes subscription provides the District with enterprise wide anti-malware protection. We are also anticipating the addition (pending approval) of Malwarebytes Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) to our annual subscription. This in conjunction with our anti-virus program help to keep District devices protected from viruses and malware while minimizing the risk of ransomware attacks. EDR provides the ability to isolate endpoints from network communication, restricting processes and total node isolation completely blocking the device while leaving it online for analysis. Additionally, EDR includes 72 hour ransomware rollback effectively allowing the device to be rolled back to a state prior to infection. Each desktop and laptop have the client software installed and the system is maintained from a central control panel. Scans run on a schedule and updates are continuous. Renewal also provides us with technical support as well as updated definitions which are then disseminated to all devices. This resolution is for the renewal of the District’s subscription for the 2023-2024 school year, at a total cost of $121,500.00.
