County OKs three-year KnowBe4 cybersecurity subscription at $14,809.20
Summary
Grand County approved a three-year master service agreement with KnowBe4 for cybersecurity training and testing (Oct. 2, 2025–Oct. 1, 2028) at a cost reported as $14,809.20; IT Director Thomas Johnson presented the contract and commissioners authorized signature.
Thomas Johnson, Grand County IT director, presented a master service agreement with KnowBe4 for cybersecurity training and testing for the county's staff, budgeted for the three-year subscription term. Johnson said the contract was budgeted and requested authorization for the chair to sign the agreement.
"It's one of the best programs out there," Johnson said, and commissioners moved to approve the agreement at the cited amount. The board authorized the chair to sign the master subscription agreement and stressed the value of prevention compared with the cost of breach remediation.
Why it matters: county IT staff said ongoing cybersecurity training reduces risk of fraud and intrusion that could expose county systems; the contract represents a multi-year commitment to staff training and testing.
