Summary:
|
|
This contract is an agreement to with Abnormal Security to monitor all district email for phishing and other malicious content. This would be a new vendor as the district currently contracts with Mimecast for this service. Over the years we have found Mimecast to be cumbersome and no longer sufficiently accurate with flagging emails appropriately. Mimecast's pricing structure was also set to roughly double in price if we were to continue with their service which would make it more costly than the service we're looking to contract with now. |

The cost of Abnormal is $51,960 and is accounted for in the annual technology budget allocation. |
