If we were to modernize the once popular “word cloud,” we would see phrases like “hybrid cloud,” and “zero trust,” always paired with terms like “unfunded mandate.” Thanks to the Infrastructure Act of 2022 that brought $1.9 billion in funds appropriated for cybersecurity, those word clouds are finally breaking up.

This week on Feds At the Edge, we’re finishing up our conversation on combating cyber-crime by examining how agencies are optimizing the use of these funds, so state and local governments can solve today’s threat and be prepared for what’s next in the years to come.

Our guests will share how to get started by taking advantage of the free services CISA provides which will bring local areas up to a more mature model of cybersecurity so they can make better informed decisions about their funding measures. And they will share the one core element that must be part of every plan because even with increased funding, it’s not if…it’s when.
