Suggested Action:
recommendation
I move that the Mayor and Council find that public discussion of City IT infrastructure and a confidential security assessment would constitute a risk to the security of the City’s information technology network because it involves:
1. security assessments or deployments relating to information resources technology;
2. (ii) network security information, including information that is:
1. Related to passwords, personal identification numbers, access codes, encryption, or other components of the security system of a governmental entity; or
2. Related to an assessment, made by or for a governmental entity or maintained by a governmental entity, of the vulnerability of a network to criminal activity; or
3. deployments or implementation of security personnel, critical infrastructure, or security devices.
*** Upon the approval of the first part of the motion***
The Mayor and Council having found that the requisite preconditions are met, I move that the Mayor and Council close the Council Meeting of September 21, 2020 to review and discuss a confidential report relating to the City’s IT infrastructure and cybersecurity.
This session will be closed under the authority of the Annotated Code of Maryland State Government General Provisions Article Section 3-305(b) (15) to discuss cybersecurity. The reason for closing the meeting under this exception is to protect the City’s confidentiality pertaining to cybersecurity matters.
