The goal of the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program is to assist State and Local Governments with managing and reducing systemic cyber risk.

Grant funds can be used to meet four objectives:

• Develop and establish appropriate governance structures, including developing, implementing, or revising cybersecurity plans, to improve capabilities to respond to cybersecurity incidents and ensure continuity of operations.
• Understand their current cybersecurity posture and areas for improvement based on continuous testing, evaluation, and structured assessments.
• Implement security protections commensurate with risk.
• Ensure organization personnel are appropriately trained in cybersecurity, commensurate with responsibility.
