Uh it's the same video that 273 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,559 we'll be using alongside of its roll out 274 00:20:34,559 --> 00:20:38,159 uh as long so if it were to be approved. 275 00:20:38,159 --> 00:20:40,880 So the acceptable use policy covers uh 276 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,720 all devices, networks, email and cloud 277 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,760 services used for county work. Um and 278 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,000 this is for any personal device that's 279 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,440 used as well. Uh is it's appropriate and 280 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,039 inappropriate uses of county technology. 281 00:20:55,039 --> 00:20:57,520 Uh security best practices, compliance 282 00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,840 with security standards. Uh it's it's we 283 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:01,440 already have an acceptable use policy in 284 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:06,240 play. Um and this is this is an update. 285 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,600 Uh the reason why we're updating it is 286 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,559 uh the old the last one's old. So um you 287 00:21:12,559 --> 00:21:13,760 know we could start there. It's at the 288 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,200 bottom of the list, but the last policy 289 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,840 was updated and signed in 2019. Uh it's 290 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,600 time for a new one. Uh this this also 291 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,600 reflects the increase in regulatory 292 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,600 accountability and uh the recent 293 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,760 alignment with our cyber security uh 294 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,280 posture that we that I came on board to 295 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,880 bring us into. So, um, we we have gaps 296 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,720 in security and we close those gaps 297 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,039 every day. And this this is one of the 298 00:21:39,039 --> 00:21:40,799 ways that we're working to close the gap 299 00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:42,559 to protect the county's liability, its 300 00:21:42,559 --> 00:21:46,075 staff, and the citizens, 301 00:21:46,085 --> 00:21:47,520 [sighs] 302 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,000 high-risisk violations during uh driving 303 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,320 this update, excuse me. Uh so so we do 304 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,960 see uh all kinds of use uh mixed use 305 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,360 throughout the county and we want uh a 306 00:21:57,360 --> 00:22:00,400 single pane of glass for how we see the 307 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,200 appropriate use of county systems. We 308 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,080 don't want to to see people as as we're 309 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,000 trying to prevent the use of personal 310 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,720 email to circumvent any county security 311 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,799 um personal messaging apps. Uh we're trying to prevent uploading county 312 00:22:14,799 --> 00:22:16,880 documents to personal cloud services. 313 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,200 the these things were not as prevalent 314 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,440 in the county back in 2019. Actually, 315 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:22,799 these things didn't exist at all in the 316 00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:24,080 county. It's not that they didn't exa 317 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,559 exist at all in the world, but they were 318 00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:28,960 not a part of our infrastructure. Um, we 319 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,960 want to talk about the the use of public 320 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:35,039 AI tools for county data. So, there's a 321 00:22:35,039 --> 00:22:36,880 beginnings of how we want to handle 322 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,720 that. Uh, there's sections in the new 323 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,360 AUP that mention it. Uh, and bypassing, 324 00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:42,960 filtering, and security controls. We 325 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,280 want to try to really point out that 326 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:46,799 there is just because you can get 327 00:22:46,799 --> 00:22:48,320 somewhere or just because you eventually 328 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:49,840 end up somewhere that doesn't mean 329 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,159 you're supposed to be there. So, um we 330 00:22:52,159 --> 00:22:53,760 want to we feel like the the new 331 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,960 acceptable use policy is a way to uh 332 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,559 again socialize, cover down, and make 333 00:22:58,559 --> 00:22:59,760 sure that we all understand what we can 334 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,919 and can't do. 335 00:23:01,919 --> 00:23:03,600 Uh what the commissioners need to know. 336 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,039 So, I I do want to point out what we 337 00:23:05,039 --> 00:23:06,080 aren't trying to do. We're not trying to 338 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,240 push an immediate vote today. Uh we're 339 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:09,840 not trying to rush anything and or give 340 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,159 you any surprises. That's why I did uh 341 00:23:12,159 --> 00:23:14,080 print out a packet for you to take with 342 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,039 you and uh digest and read at your at 343 00:23:17,039 --> 00:23:18,880 your leisure over the next uh period of 344 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,120 time until we meet again. Uh I can also 345 00:23:21,120 --> 00:23:24,080 share that digitally. Uh so so that way 346 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,840 you can see it uh on your computer 347 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,600 screen or the screen of your choice. Uh 348 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,200 but we are really trying to socialize 349 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,200 the AUP updates. Uh we want to explain 350 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,360 the rationale and gather your feedback. 351 00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:35,200 um we we really just want to go ahead 352 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,280 and take a clean break from the 2019 353 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,400 into the 2026 and also and beyond, 354 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,039 right? Um and and today we we do again 355 00:23:43,039 --> 00:23:46,000 have a a video uh that that we're going 356 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,080 to use to uh roll out with.

It's short, easy to 360 00:30:06,799 --> 00:30:09,760 digest, and very clean. This video was 361 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,679 created by Sophia Harlos. It's our IT 362 00:30:13,679 --> 00:30:16,080 intern. We we just saw a presentation 363 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,000 from her at at one of our previous 364 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,480 meetings as a as a way to show you, you 365 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,559 know, I just want to give her her kudos. 366 00:30:22,559 --> 00:30:24,720 You she put that together.

That's going to be 371 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,520 used alongside the rollout of the new 372 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,679 acceptable use policy. Uh it's just a 373 00:30:37,679 --> 00:30:38,960 tool in the toolkit that we've put 374 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,600 together uh should it be approved. Uh it 375 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,600 will help ensure staff and officials 376 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,760 clearly understand the updated policy 377 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,840 and the ex uh expectations that come 378 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:52,000 with it.

This will govern 383 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,200 everything that we do here in our our IT 384 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:02,880 environment.

Questions from the board. 389 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,760 >> Uh does this does this apply to all 390 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,360 county government? So I know there's 391 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,240 like a constitutional officers, the 392 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,200 court employees, uh or is this just 393 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:26,080 general government? 394 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:27,840 >> The the best way to express the answer 395 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,320 to that is that this applies to county 396 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,840 information technology systems.
