Court signs interlocal agreement joining UT Austin regional security operations center
Summary
Coryell County approved an interlocal contract with the University of Texas at Austin to join a regional security operations center (RSOC), which staff said could reduce current IT monitoring costs by about $1,400–$1,500 per month and provide state-backed cybersecurity monitoring and vendor support.
The court considered an interlocal agreement with the University of Texas at Austin to participate in a regional security operations center (RSOC). A presenter explained the RSOC program is a statewide initiative covering more than 3,100 entities — counties, school districts and other local agencies — and that the program could save the county roughly $1,400–$1,500 per month compared with the county's current arrangement.
Presenters said the RSOC model combines university and state resources with a private‑sector vendor (identified during discussion as CrowdStrike) to provide 24/7 monitoring and incident response. Commissioners discussed funding continuity, noting the state has funded pilot programs and may continue support through legislative cycles; the court voted to approve the interlocal agreement.
The court recorded that Goldsmith Solutions would be the designated primary point of contact locally for state communications tied to RSOC operations; staff said the agreement uses a regional model and UT Austin will serve as the regional agent.
