Apply Now! Applications for State and
Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP)
|
|
|
|
Last week, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced a first-of-its-kind cybersecurity grant program specifically for state, local, and territorial (SLT) governments across the country. This State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program, made possible thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, provides $1 billion in funding to SLT partners over four years, with $185 million available for FY22, to support SLT efforts to address cyber risk to their information systems. With this funding, SLT governments will be better equipped to address cybersecurity risks, strengthen the cybersecurity of their critical infrastructure, and ensure resilience against persistent cyber threats for the services SLT governments provide their communities.
Applicants have until November 15, 2022 to apply for a grant, which can be used to fund new or existing cybersecurity programs.

Wake Tech Holds Topping-Out Ceremony for
First Building at Future Campus
|
|
|
|
The first education and training building on Wake Tech's technology-forward Eastern Wake Campus under construction in Wendell is a step closer to opening.
A topping-out ceremony was held today to celebrate the placement of the final beam on the Public Safety Simulation Complex.
Designed by Boomerang Design and built by Balfour Beatty, the $40 million, 76,000-square-foot facility includes a reality-based simulation center for law enforcement and first responder training, including a 4D immersive downtown street replica training village and a driver training track the size of five football fields.
Simulation environments include a K-12 classroom, a hotel, a residence and reconfigurable retail spaces. The building also features a two-story corrections pod to facilitate training scenarios for public safety and detention personnel. The facility will be the new home of Wake Tech's EMS program and a new program in Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) – drones – in partnership with Elizabeth City State University.
The building is expected to serve some 2,000 students through Wake Tech's Public Safety programs.
