DISCUSSION
The Information Technology (IT) Department provides support to both City Hall and the Santa Ana Police Department (SAPD) data centers, which together house the largest concentration of computer systems used to support City operations. As innovation and new technology evolve, so does the need to safeguard and ensure the safety of the City’s digital assets. With 24/7 protection against the risk of data loss, malware infection, and other cybersecurity threats, Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is an integrated endpoint security solution that continuously monitors computer devices to detect and respond to cyber threats like ransomware and malware. It employs a high degree of automation to remove or contain cyber threats and notify security personnel.
