Evart police recommend YubiKeys for multifactor authentication at $3,600
Summary
Police Chief John Beam recommended the city purchase YubiKeys for multifactor authentication to address a LEIN audit finding; Chief cited consultations with the city's IT provider and the City of Big Rapids and provided vendor quotes for Council review.
Police Chief John Beam recommended that the city purchase YubiKeys as its multifactor authentication (MFA) solution to address a LEIN audit finding that the department lacked MFA on user logins. Chief Beam presented vendor quotes and comparisons and said the purchase would cost $3,600.
The recommendation followed consultations with the city's IT service and discussions with the City of Big Rapids, which has already implemented MFA. Chief Beam told Council that MFA is required by law and that adopting YubiKeys would meet the audit requirement; the minutes record that "it is the recommendation of Chief Beam to purchase Yubi Keys as the department's MFA option at the cost of $3,600." Council did not record a formal vote on the purchase during the work session; staff were left with the item for further review and formal action if Council chooses to proceed.
