New Windsor council approves Maryland IT cybersecurity plan at $2,000 monthly
Summary
On Oct. 20, 2025 the New Windsor Town Council voted 5-0 to adopt Maryland IT’s cybersecurity plan, including adoption of the Keeper password program and a recovery/backups approach; the move raises the town’s monthly IT invoice by $2,000.
At its Oct. 20, 2025 work session, the New Windsor Town Council voted 5-0 to adopt Maryland IT’s cybersecurity plan, a measure aimed at formalizing password management and recovery procedures and increasing the town’s monthly IT invoice by $2,000.
Councilmember Kimberlee Schultz moved to proceed with Maryland IT’s cybersecurity plan and Councilmember Connor Frock seconded; the motion passed unanimously. The council had asked for specific answers about the town’s password program (Keeper) and what Maryland IT would do if the town were hacked; the plan includes a formulated recovery plan and backups to be implemented once the cybersecurity addition is accepted.
The council’s action formalizes an ongoing IT relationship and allocates additional recurring funds for cybersecurity services. Town staff will implement the plan through Maryland IT and reflect the increased monthly charge in future invoices. The council did not specify an implementation timeline beyond acceptance; staff will bring follow-up details to a future meeting if required.
