The Department of Military Affairs Wisconsin (DMA) received a $7,666,939 Formula Grant award on Dec 7, 2023 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (CFDA 97.137). This funding supports a range of cybersecurity enhancement initiatives for state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, including developing cybersecurity plans, conducting vulnerability assessments, implementing security controls, delivering workforce training, and upgrading critical infrastructure protection. As a state government entity, DMA will use this grant to manage and reduce systemic cyber risks to Wisconsin's information systems and critical infrastructure. The grant period is 1-2 years, and DMA may issue sub-awards to local governments, tribes, and non-profits to implement localized cybersecurity projects within the state.
