The Consultant’s tools must be able to: integrate with the City’s current cyber security solutions; accept logs and events from our identity provider, cloud services, and on-premises platforms; and ingest email notifications and events from an EDR solution managed by New York State, among other requirements outlined in greater detail in this RFP.
