  2. Municipalities, state departments of education, state university systems and local town-level governments, typically lack the necessary resources to fully combat cybercrime and are prime targets for hackers in extortion plots to steal money and exfiltrate data. The new funding, is intended to assist state, local and territorial governments to enact plans and programs tailored to their own needs. This $1 billion will be allocated over four years, with $185 million reserved for 2022 with more allocated during each of the next three years during what is called the performance period. Now, here is the key. This program helps the eligible entities address cybersecurity risks and threats for systems owned or operated on behalf of state, local and territorial governments but the apportionment of funds is not completely up to the discretion of the state. Each state must submit a plan for approval by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (most of us know them as CISA). Each state who receives an allocation must spend 80% of it on local and rural communities and 3% more on tribal governments. Eligible entities can submit an application via Grants.gov. CISA and FEMA will review each submission, and CISA will approve final Cybersecurity Plans and individual projects. There is no time for states to waste. Applicants must apply for a grant in the next 60 days, and may use the federal dollars toward new or existing
