Origin
Summary
In May 2024, City Council directed the Chief Information Security Officer, through item 2024.EX14.3, to extend its mandate to include oversight of City agencies and corporations and to report annually in October to the Executive Committee on their responses and compliance rates.
Overall, nearly all City agencies and corporations have executed agreements with the Office of the Chief Information Security Officer and a core suite of cyber security services, including continuous cyber monitoring, has been deployed. Additionally, the Chief Information Security Officer has increased strategic collaboration with leadership teams from each agency and corporation through the Executive Cyber Risk Management Group, further enhancing policy development, program enhancement, and threat response across the cyber landscape. These combined efforts have led to a 37% improvement in overall cyber resilience since last reported to City Council in November 2024.
This report provides information about the progress that the Chief Information Security Officer has made in operationalizing and sustaining the directions of City Council in 2024.EX14.3.
