FY2023 SLCGP Grant Funding Opportunity
The goal of the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) is to assist governmental entities with managing and reducing systemic cyber risk. The four overarching federal objectives of the program are to:
Establish appropriate governance structures
Evaluate and assess current cybersecurity posture
Implement security protections commensurate with risk
Ensure personnel are trained commensurate with responsibility
For the FY23 grant cycle, West Virginia's priorities will focus on best practices in the areas of:
Implementing Multi-Factor Authentication
Enhanced Logging
Data Encryption
Ending the use of unsupported/end of life software and hardware that are accessible from the internet
Prohibiting the use of known/fixed/default passwords and credentials
Ensuring the ability to reconstitute systems (backups)
Migration to the .GOV internet domain
Endpoint Detection and Network Security
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing
Cybersecurity Awareness Training
Eligible Applicants
An eligible subrecipient includes local governments and does not include nonprofit and for-profit organizations. Section 2(13) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (codified as amended at 6 U.S.C. § 101(13)) defines a local government as:
A county, municipality, city, town/village, local public authority, school district, special district, intrastate district, council of governments (regardless of whether the council of governments is incorporated as a nonprofit corporation under state law), regional or interstate government entity, or agency or instrumentality of a local government.
A rural community, unincorporated town or village, or other public entity.
A public educational institution (e.g., elementary school, secondary school, or institution of higher education) is generally eligible to receive assistance under SLCGP if it is an agency or instrumentality of a state or local government under state and/or local law. In contrast, a private educational institution would not be eligible to receive SLCGP assistance because it is not an agency or instrumentality of a state or local government.
