The Government of Guam Department of Administration Bureau of Statistics and Plans has been awarded a $500,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Office of Insular Affairs under the Economic, Social, and Political Development of the Territories program (CFDA 15.875). The grant will fund initiatives to enhance Guam's cybersecurity posture through the implementation of a Zero Trust Architecture, including the deployment of network identity cards for securing physical and digital access. The grant will also support the implementation of a modern cloud-based data backup and protection solution with enterprise-level data recovery and ransomware threat/anomaly detection capabilities. Additionally, the funding will be used to improve the resilience of the Guam Office of Technology (OTECH) data center by implementing redundant standby power generation capacity. The proposed project is anticipated to require two years for completion, with all procurements complying with Guam's procurement regulations and 2 CFR 200 requirements.
