Grants Office America: Survive and Thrive: Securing Funding for Real-Time Cybersecurity Threat Intelligence - Sponsored by Recorded Future

Sep 14, 2023

Global cyberattacks are increasing at an alarming rate. For many public sector agencies, it is no longer a matter of if they will be targeted, but when and how often they will be attacked. A variety of bad actors, both domestic and international, specifically target states, municipalities, school districts, and institutions of higher education. These organizations are selected for the large volumes of sensitive data they collect and store on their constituents, students, and parents.

While tools are available to assist with detection, prevention and mitigation efforts, many agencies lack the financial resources to develop a robust cybersecurity apparatus. Fortunately, federal and state governments are making significant investments in assisting public sector agencies with their cybersecurity efforts. In addition to being aware of the available funding, including $1 billion in grants available through the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program, agencies need to fully understand how they can leverage these monies to improve their Cybersecurity posture.

Join Grants Office and special guests from Recorded Future and Carahsoft to learn about the latest solutions to monitor and prevent threats in real-time and how you can leverage grant funding to make these vital security improvements. If you are interested in discovering best practices for securing your cyber environment and tips for securing the necessary funding, you will not want to miss this informative event.

The State & Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) is a historic $1 billion investment in improving the nation's cybersecurity posture by empowering state, local, and territorial governments to address cybersecurity risks and threats to the information systems they own and operate.

But what exactly is going on with the $185 million and $400 million in funds appropriated for SLCGP in FY22 and FY23, respectively? Which states have already submitted and had their cybersecurity plans approved and which states received an extension for that vital step in accessing funds? What can local government agencies interested in pass-through funds do to access their share? And for those in states waiting until the cybersecurity plan extension deadline in September, what can local governments do now to get grant ready?

Join Grants Office and special guests from Okta to learn about the State & Local Cybersecurity grant program and how you can best position your organization to receive those funds.

In a world characterized by the explosion of the Internet of Things (IOT), public sector agencies are being asked to make investments in technology that can increase safety, increase efficiency, streamline processes, and improve services for their target customers, whether they be constituents, students, or passengers. The application of IOT is limitless across the public sector. IOT can be used by school systems to monitor and improve the safety of students and employees. State and local governments and transit agencies are also leveraging IOT to develop interconnected transportation systems that serve as the backbone for the creation of smart cities and communities.

For many public agencies that have limited financial resources, making investments in IOT is secondary to maintaining personnel to meet the most basic needs of the citizens and students they serve. However, investing in IOT can serve as a multiplier in efficiency that cannot be achieved by the addition of personnel. And fortunately, there are many grants available to school districts, institutions of higher education, state and local governments, public safety entities, transit agencies, and utility companies to deploy IOT-enabled projects to improve the overall safety, sustainability, and efficiency of their operations.

Join Grants Office and special guests from Samsara to learn about the grant funding landscape for IOT-enabled projects in the public sector. In addition to information on specific funding programs and IOT solutions, participants will receive tips and discover best practices for securing the grant funding they need for their project.
