We wish to inform our community that the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) has fully utilized its available funding. Consequently, we are unable to accept any new applications at this moment.

We sincerely appreciate the interest and efforts of all applicants who have aimed to improve their cybersecurity capabilities through this initiative. Although funding is not currently accessible, we remain dedicated to assisting our local and county governments with enhancing their cybersecurity measures.

We expect additional funding to become available later this year. We encourage you to revisit our website or follow us on social media for the latest updates and announcements.

Please stay engaged with us for any future funding opportunities or program developments. Should you have any questions or require guidance on cybersecurity best practices, please contact us. Thank you for your understanding and commitment to safeguarding our digital infrastructure.

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 potential consequences of cyber incidents threaten national security. Strengthening cybersecurity practices and resilience of state, local, and territorial (SLT) governments is an important homeland security mission and the primary focus of the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP). Through funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), the SLCGP enables DHS to make targeted cybersecurity investments in SLT government agencies, thus improving the security of critical infrastructure and improving the resilience of the services 4 FY 2022 SLCGP NOFO Back to the Top SLT governments provide their community.

Please review the SLCGP one-page application announcement before completing your application.  Applications must be tied to the State Cyber Plan in the announcement.  Submit applications to hsgrants@okohs.ok.gov.
