Henry County commissioners voted to accept the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program award and the associated grant contract on Oct. 20. The contract specifies a maximum grant contract amount of $54,683 and requires compliance with FFY2023 SLCGP guidance, an annual Nationwide Cybersecurity Review (NCSR) assessment, and federal pass-through reporting obligations.
The attachments list managed-service licensing to be provided on the state's statewide contract in lieu of direct funding: 30 endpoint detection and response (EDR) licenses (CrowdStrike) and 100 end-user cybersecurity awareness training seats (InfoSec IQ). The contract also identifies passthrough allocations the county sought: $24,683 for IT equipment upgrades and $30,000 for security camera and access-control hardware. Award paperwork notes the licensing must be implemented within three months of the executed contract and that some equipment items require prior approval from the State before purchase.
