Comal County IT seeks $75,000 for backup capacity, new cyber training and an applications manager
Summary
IT requested funding for storage expansion ($75,000), a $20,000 cybersecurity training platform with phishing simulations and AI training, an external cybersecurity assessment, and one enterprise application support manager to handle rising support tickets for county applications.
Comal County's IT director outlined infrastructure and cybersecurity requests for 2026, including two replacement server hosts, two storage shelves and "$75,000 to increase our capacity, for the software to accept that data and protect that data." The director proposed a new cyber training platform with phishing simulation for about $20,000 and said new requirements will add artificial-intelligence training to annual cybersecurity classes.
IT also asked for a paid external cybersecurity assessment and one new enterprise application support manager position to handle rising support tickets driven by county enterprise applications; the presenter said support tickets rose "69%" since 2003 for his application vertical and that the new manager would help long-term application support and project management.
