Schuylkill County will serve as the fiduciary and administrator for a Northeast regional cybersecurity program, officials said at the May 21 work session. Director of 911 Communications Scott Krater presented a master services agreement with Computing Technologies, LLC (CTL) to implement the NECORE regional cybersecurity plan, which he said has been approved and funded by the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency.
Krater said participating counties for the NECORE plan include Carbon, Lackawanna, Pike, Schuylkill and Wayne, and he gave the total project amount as $1,428,460. The agreement presented would allow Schuylkill County to manage funds and coordinate implementation on behalf of the regional partnership.
