A May security breach to City of Washington computers has caused Council to outsource that security to Pittsburgh firms. Council authorized several 5 year contracts to keep city computers secure. Sylint Group will receive $40,000 for the repair of city computers. Blue Bastion and Ideal Integrations received monthly contracts for 5 years to monitor and maintain city computers. Those charges will be $8400 per month. Some of the repair costs were covered by insurance and Mayor Scott Putnam says that no tax increase will be necessary to cover the $100,000 charge necessary for computer security. He indicates that the city is moving money around and looking for cost savings going forward so as not to raise taxes. Council is also looking for grants to try an offset costs. Councilman Joe Manning looks at it as a cost of doing business but it probably is something the city should have been doing before.
