The 2024-25 State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) is designed to bolster cybersecurity defenses across various local entities within California. This grant aligns with a foundational mission of safeguarding critical digital infrastructure and sensitive information from escalating cyber threats. By focusing on enhancing the security posture of state and local governments, the program directly supports the broader strategic goal of ensuring public safety and operational continuity in the digital realm. The primary beneficiaries of the SLCGP are local governments, school districts, special districts, and federally recognized tribes. The overarching impact goal is to significantly reduce the vulnerability of these entities to cybersecurity incidents, thereby protecting public services and citizen data. The grant aims to empower these organizations with the resources and knowledge necessary to proactively address and mitigate cyber risks. The program prioritizes the improvement of information systems security and the enhancement of critical infrastructure resilience. This involves a focus on implementing robust cybersecurity measures, developing incident response capabilities, and fostering a culture of cybersecurity awareness among staff. The grant seeks to support initiatives that strengthen existing defenses and build new capacities to detect, prevent, and respond to cyberattacks effectively. Expected outcomes include a measurable reduction in successful cyberattacks, improved compliance with cybersecurity best practices, and enhanced data protection across participating entities. Quantifiable results could involve metrics such as the number of vulnerabilities patched, the increase in cybersecurity training completion rates, and the reduction in recovery time after an incident. These outcomes are crucial for building a more secure and resilient digital ecosystem. The foundation's strategic priorities are centered on creating a secure and reliable digital environment for public services. The theory of change behind this grant is that by providing targeted financial assistance and promoting best practices, local entities will be better equipped to withstand and recover from cyber threats. This investment in cybersecurity is expected to lead to more resilient communities, greater public trust in government services, and a more secure state overall.
