The City of Torrington is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to provide an XDR (eXtended Detection and Response) security solution to enhance the security posture of our network and protect against cyber threats. The City of Torrington operates a complex network infrastructure that supports critical services for our community, including public safety, utilities, and administrative functions. Given the constantly evolving threat landscape, it is essential that we maintain a robust security framework to safeguard our network and data from external and internal threats.
We are looking for a comprehensive and scalable XDR solution that can provide advanced threat detection, analysis, and response capabilities to protect our infrastructure and sensitive information. The XDR solution should integrate with our existing security systems and be able to provide visibility across our entire network, including on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. The proposed solution should also be flexible enough to accommodate future upgrades and changes to our infrastructure.
The City of Torrington seeks to partner with an experienced and reputable vendor that can provide a turnkey solution and professional services, including implementation, training, and support. The vendor should have a proven track record of delivering XDR solutions to government agencies, preferably at the local level. The vendor should also demonstrate compliance with industry standards and regulations, such as NIST, CIS, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS.
We invite proposals from vendors who have the experience, expertise, and resources to provide a comprehensive XDR solution that meets our security needs. Proposals should include detailed descriptions of the proposed solution, pricing, implementation plan, and support and maintenance services. Proposals should also demonstrate how the proposed solution will help us achieve our security goals and comply with relevant regulations.
We look forward to receiving proposals from qualified vendors and partnering with a vendor that can help us enhance our security posture and protect our critical services and information.
