District brought back a $197,886 cybersecurity renewal for Windows devices
Summary
The district presented a one-year renewal of AdLumen cybersecurity services covering Windows devices at $197,886.50 (prior year $140,226); IT said the service provides 24/7 managed detection and response and handles ~160 million log events per day, producing about 10–12 actionable tickets daily.
The finance committee reviewed a proposed one-year renewal of the district's AdLumen cybersecurity services at a total cost of $197,886.50, up from $140,226 the prior year. Administration said the increase reflects higher per-license pricing and the addition of roughly 900 incoming Windows laptops for high-school seniors moving from Chromebooks to laptops.
IT leader Mr. Perreri told the committee the vendor provides a managed detection and response (MDR) function that monitors systems 24/7 and can act on the district's behalf to isolate machines and contain threats. He described the service volume the district sees: "we're seeing on average 160 million log events per day" and the vendor narrows that down to roughly 10 to 12 actionable tickets per day for district staff to investigate.
Board members asked about per-device pricing and year-to-year increases; the administration explained that the prior contract included deeper discounts in the first year, and that the addition of approximately 900 laptops explains part of the cost growth. The district's renewal covers Windows devices only; Chromebooks are not included in the quoted price.
The item was discussed and clarified during the finance committee meeting; the transcript does not record a formal vote in this session.
