Overview of Recent Cyber Incidents, Incident Response Approach, and Status Update on Cybersecurity Audit with Office of Washington State Auditor (SAO)
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
Information security events can have a significant impact on the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the City's Information systems, applications, and data. It is essential to manage information security incidents to minimize their impact and restore operations affected by such incidents. We wanted to give an overview of how we have been impacted by the recent cyber incidents, and how we approach incident response to ensure that the City complies with all legal requirements and obligations of reporting such incidents, and promptly notifying the individuals that are impacted. We also wanted to provide an update on the Cybersecurity Audit with Office of the Washington State Auditor (SAO) that began in March 2020.
