Client is seeking vendor proposals to carry out the Agency Cyber Resources Project. The goal of this project is to provide our agencies with a team of thirty (30) onsite consultants at various NY-area locations who can assist the Operational Technology (OT) groups in supporting new and ongoing cybersecurity projects.
Background
The client has a vast network of transportation infrastructure spanning the New York City Metropolitan service area, southern portions of New York, Long Island, and segments of New Jersey and Connecticut. This transportation infrastructure includes a large network of underground and under-river subway, rail, and vehicular tunnels; elevated subway and rail structures; rail yards and bus depots; subway, rail, bus stations, and maintenance facilities.
Client
Agency OT groups are primarily responsible for Industrial Control Systems (ICS) that manage, monitor, and control the operations of critical infrastructure. These types of specialized technologies are required to meet safety, performance, security, reliability, and operational requirements.
To support this large operational infrastructure, the employs over 80,000 people. Similar to many organizations, the client is challenged with securing qualified talent to fill open positions in cybersecurity, especially in the OT area. The difficulty in securing qualified talent is impeding ability to meet government cybersecurity mandates and directives as well as the timelines of many new and ongoing cybersecurity projects.
