State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program Municipal Cybersecurity Assessment: Deadline is February 28, 2023
Massachusetts Cybersecurity Planning Committee

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has secured more than $15 million in federal grant funds to strengthen cybersecurity across state and local governments. To that end, the Massachusetts Cybersecurity Planning Committee, with assistance from the Office of Municipal and School Technology (OMST), is conducting a municipal cybersecurity assessment to gather baseline data to help inform the Commonwealth’s use of the $3.1 million in expected federal funds through the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) that will be made available in the Fall of 2023. OMST sent the assessment to municipal leaders across the Commonwealth this week. The deadline for responses is Tuesday, February 28, 2023. For the purposes of privacy, the survey is anonymous.

The Massachusetts Cybersecurity Planning Committee has been established as a joint grant program planning committee by the Executive Office of Technology Services and Security (EOTSS), the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security, and the MassCyberCenter at the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative. The Office of Grants and Research (OGR) will serve as the State Administrative Agency (SAA) for the grant program.

Additional information about the SLCGP is available on OGR’s website<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/mass.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0e9e2209abd5f7062568d9a19&id=3e57ce32c9&e=7a196b170f__;!!CUhgQOZqV7M!i8qz1Z648noiuzadYAdOzuXShprzkYAlNiClYEiPDYGjPo3tuo2D9PJW540jiyTwexGDOfJWgO8zmyDXGfYWjoqvHVTWcw$> and the cyber grants page of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) website<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/mass.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0e9e2209abd5f7062568d9a19&id=7f0f79d940&e=7a196b170f__;!!CUhgQOZqV7M!i8qz1Z648noiuzadYAdOzuXShprzkYAlNiClYEiPDYGjPo3tuo2D9PJW540jiyTwexGDOfJWgO8zmyDXGfYWjorcgkCxag$>.
