Description
The Fiscal Year 2025 State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program is a funding opportunity provided by the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to assist state and local governments in managing and reducing systemic cyber risk. The program's goal is to help these governments develop and implement cybersecurity plans, improve their cybersecurity posture, and protect their information systems from cyber threats.
• The program has four objectives: developing and establishing governance structures, understanding current cybersecurity posture, implementing security protections, and ensuring personnel are trained in cybersecurity.
• Eligible applicants must submit an application through the FEMA GO System, including an Investment Justification (IJ) template and a Project Worksheet (PW).
• The program provides funding for projects that align with the program's objectives and are included in the applicant's Cybersecurity Plan.
• The application must be submitted by August 15, 2025, and the program is expected to provide funding over the course of four years.
