County IT rolls out CrowdStrike sensors, plans two-factor VPN access and redundancy for records-management
Summary
County IT reported implementation of grant-funded CrowdStrike Falcon sensors across endpoints, planned two-factor authentication for VPN users, and a redundancy plan for records-management servers with Riverton; staff said the CrowdStrike subscription is grant-funded for three years but may require in-house funding after the grant ends.
County IT staff updated the commission on cybersecurity and infrastructure work, including a recent review by the CARES cybersecurity team and the deployment of CrowdStrike Falcon sensors to county endpoints. The IT director said the county installed the sensor on workstations and servers and that a monitoring partner (CrowdStrike) will provide 24/7 alerting and incident isolation capabilities.
The IT director said they are pursuing two-factor authentication for remote VPN users (for SROs and others who access records management systems) and are procuring hardware to create redundant records-management servers shared with Riverton to avoid single‑point failures. He told commissioners the CrowdStrike deployment is grant-funded for three years and that the county will need to plan for potential in-house funding when the grant expires.
Commissioners asked for a checklist of required security measures for insurance and for departmental reports on phones and other hardware readiness; IT agreed to provide a status report.
