The State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (“SLCGP”) provides funding to state, local, and tribal entities to address cybersecurity risks and threats to entity-owned or operated information systems. This funding is made available through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The objective of the SLCGP is to make targeted cybersecurity investments to strengthen the cybersecurity practices and the resilience of state, local, and tribal governments.
