BACKGROUND:
The Information Technology Department engaged TruSecure Enterprise Service during August
2002 with the purpose of addressing the rising cyber threats posed by cyber-terrorism, Internet
worms, and unethical practices such as hacking, etc; which could compromise the integrity and
availability of services and resources provided by the Information Technology Department to the
City of Miami. The advisory services secured through TruSecure have helped the City of Miami
reduce potential risks and proactively mitigate the possible affects of the increasing number of
cyber threats which have affected other businesses and governmental entities.
TruSecure is an annualized service that provides consultancy services for the development,
implementation and monitoring of essential security practices necessary to protect the City's IT
infrastructure. The continued used of these services will assist the City in securing its IT
infrastructure and sensitive enterprise data from hacker attacks, viruses and other cyber and
physical threats by providing: a comprehensive enterprise security policy template, 365 day/24
hour support from a professional security support team, periodic internal and external network
scans and assessments, and implementation recommendations for essential security practices.
The City of Miami is continuing to move forward with major IT Strategic Initiatives and will
greatly benefit by continuing to partner with TruSecure Corporation. TruSecure is a recognized
authority in providing research, analysis, and decision support to the IT industry.
