Overview
Colorado’s State and Local Cyber Security Grant Program (SLCGP) provides local governments, public safety and emergency services and special districts with a managed detection and response (MDR) system to detect and mitigate cybersecurity threats.
Program
This program is funded by a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. SLCGP requires that participants move to adopt Cybersecurity Best Practices.
Members of the Cybersecurity Subcommittee (CAC) of Homeland Security and All-Hazards Senior Advisory Committee (HSAC) serve as the steering committee for this grant. The CAC meets every first Wednesday of each month from 10-11 a.m.
The Colorado’s Office of Information Technology (OIT) acts as a purchasing agent to optimize pricing, offering endpoint encryption to the participating local governments, public safety and emergency services and special districts. These agencies will be able to continue on with the purchased endpoint encryption in future years with their own funding.
