Kelly Moan explains the process when a city agency proposes using a new tool or recommendation. The agency engages in discussions with the Office of Technology and Innovation (OTI) from a cybersecurity perspective.
- OTI determines the tool's use case and whether OTI already provides a similar capability to the agency.
- If OTI has an existing tool that meets the agency's needs, it may not make sense for the agency to acquire a new tool.
- The discussions aim to avoid redundancy and ensure efficient, secure technology use across agencies.

And then if a city agency has their own recommendations or they have a tool that they wanna use.

Do does it have to be run by OTI?

From the cybersecurity perspective, we have the conversations with agencies who might be considering or thinking of something new that they want to purchase.

From the cybersecurity lens.

And typically, that conversation is a a discussion about what what the use case is.

And if we already have something maybe in our in our tooling that the agency might not be aware of.

And in some cases, it may not make sense for the agency to go out and do something it on their own because we already provide that capability to them, they might not just be aware.
