Our nation faces unprecedented cybersecurity risks, including increasingly sophisticated adversaries, widespread vulnerabilities in commonly used hardware and software, and broad dependencies on networked technologies for the day-to-day operation of critical infrastructure. Cyber risk management is further complicated by the ability of malicious actors to operate remotely, linkages between cyber and physical systems, and the difficulty of reducing vulnerabilities.
The goal of State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) is to assist state, local and tribal governments with managing and reducing systemic cyber risk. Applicants for SLCGP funds must submit a completed application, which describes the nature of your project, your current cybersecurity posture, and capabilities, and how your project aligns with Oregon’s Cybersecurity Plan.
