/in INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA MEMORANDUM TO: Indian River County Board of County Commissioners VIA: John A. Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator FROM: Racheal Miller, Cyber Security Technician SUBJECT: Information Technology Acceptable Use Policy Revision DATE: May 21, 2024 BACKGROUND: The recent enactment of Florida Statue 282.3185 (Local Government Cybersecurity) requires local governments to adopt cybersecurity standards that safeguard their data, information technology, and resources to ensure availability, confidentiality, and integrity. Cybersecurity standards must be consistent with generally accepted best practices including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF). Each county with a population of 75,000 or more must adopt the cybersecurity standards required by this subsection by January 1, 2024. Furthermore, each local government shall notify the Florida Digital Service of its compliance with this subsection as soon as possible. The Indian River County Information Technology Department has been pursing alignment with the best practices outlined in the NIST CSF. Due to new capabilities within the Indian River County information technology environment, the Acceptable Use Policy has been revised to reflect those changes. FUNDING There is no funding requirement associated with the revision of this policy. However, proper implementation and sustainment of this policy may result in future requests for additional funding. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board approve the revisions to the Acceptable Use Policy (AM -1200.21) and replace the existing Acceptable Use Policy in the APM.
