Brazos County approves interlocal with Texas A&M for countywide cybersecurity services
Summary
The court approved an interlocal agreement with Texas A&M University for countywide cybersecurity monitoring and response; Kevin Joyner, the county CISO, said the contract covers county devices and is priced via A&M's purchasing power.
The commissioner's court approved an interlocal agreement with Texas A&M University to provide cybersecurity services to Brazos County. Kevin Joyner, identified in the record as the county's chief information security officer, told the court the agreement covers the entire county and monitors every connected device; the county also gains cost efficiencies through Texas A&M's bulk purchasing power.
Joyner explained a recent contract change moved billing from a per-FTE model to a per-device model to reflect attached devices, and the agreement ties service resets to invoices so contract dates do not require yearly language updates. "This contract covers the entire county. Every connected device is monitored," Joyner said. The court approved the interlocal by voice vote.
