And then, our city agencies, including the NYPD, required to notify your agency, about the tools they're using.
Kelly Moan

So like I mentioned before, we we collaborate with agencies on on both the security, cybersecurity tooling that they are leveraging.
1:44:10
We also provide those services to a large majority of them as well.
1:44:14
We've unified in a number of different cybersecurity tools within the city.
1:44:19
I can say that at a high level because we we we immediately knew in the inception of New York City Cyber Command that There were tools that that every city agency would benefit from, and so it made sense for both economies of scale and also autonomy to make sure that we have the appropriate protections in place such as endpoint security for every city agency to be able to take advantage of.

And so that but it comes down to OTI in terms of sharing best practices and recommendations to each city agency.
Kelly Moan
1:44:55
Yes.
1:44:55
We absolutely provide that advice, best practices, and in a handful of cases, we actually provide the the tooling itself.
1:45:05
And again, that benefits not just the agency, but us, and it's also been able to make us incredibly nimble and efficient in our services that we deliver.
1:45:13
And it's also a method of cost effectiveness as well to have that normalized baseline in place.
1:45:19
And then if a city agency has their own recommendations or they have a tool that they wanna use.
