Description
The State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP), administered in Pennsylvania by the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA), helps government entities identify, manage, and reduce cybersecurity risks. The federal program supports stronger critical infrastructure, greater resilience against persistent and evolving cyber threats, and improved cybersecurity preparedness.
For the described funding cycle, Pennsylvania offers support only for cybersecurity assessments. These structured evaluations examine an organization’s ability to protect its digital systems, data, and infrastructure. They identify vulnerabilities, analyze risks, and assess whether existing security controls are effective. Although the broader program supports state and local government cybersecurity, eligibility for this Pennsylvania opportunity is limited to qualifying local government entities applying through the Commonwealth.
