The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) announced that it has transitioned to a new model to better equip state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) governments to strengthen shared responsibility nationwide. CISA is supporting our SLTT partners with access to grant funding, no-cost tools, and cybersecurity expertise to be resilient and lead at the local level.
CISA’s cooperative agreement with the Center for Internet Security (CIS) will reach its planned end on September 30, 2025. This transition reflects CISA’s mission to strengthen accountability, maximize impact, and empower SLTT partners to defend today and secure tomorrow.
Support for SLTTs includes:
Access to Grant Funding from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), available through CISA in coordination with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This funding is provided via the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) and the Tribal Cybersecurity Grant Program (TCGP).
No-cost services and tools such as Cyber Hygiene scanning, phishing assessments, and vulnerability management
Cybersecurity Performance Goals and the Cyber Security Evaluation Tool to prioritize and measure progress
Regional Cybersecurity Advisors and Cybersecurity Coordinators delivering hands-on, local and virtual expertise
Professional services including vulnerability assessments and incident response coordination
Bi-monthly SLTT Security Operations Center calls providing timely cyber defense updates
This initiative reinforces CISA’s role as the nation’s leading cyber defense agency, protecting critical infrastructure, enabling secure communications, and empowering partners on the front lines of America’s cybersecurity.
