As the digital landscape grows more complex, the threats facing state and local governments have multiplied. Traditional cybersecurity measures alone may not be sufficient to protect sensitive information from a broad array of cyber threats. To help manage these risks, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has allocated nearly $280 million through the Fiscal Year 2024 State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP). This funding is designed to empower states and territories to bolster their cybersecurity programs, equipping them to identify vulnerabilities, detect emerging threats, and respond more effectively to incidents.
Several of our State and Local government customers have leveraged the SLCGP program to implement a digital risk program to protect their and their constituent's infrastructure. One State surveyed its municipal partners and found that the majority were looking for dark web visibility and digital risk support.
Digital Risk Protection provides state cybersecurity teams with deeper insights into external threats by monitoring illicit online spaces where threat actors often exchange or sell stolen data, discuss vulnerabilities, and share tactics.
