Spending Smart: Strategic Approaches to Cybersecurity Modernization with IIJA

State and local governments have a huge opportunity to tackle cybersecurity gaps with unprecedented funding in the form of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). The IIJA allocates nearly $2 billion directly to address cybersecurity across public sector programs, including $1 billion in grants directly to state and local governments.

But focusing on upgrading specific infrastructures via discrete projects in isolation can limit the benefits governments could gain from upgrading multiple infrastructures simultaneously. How can we think differently and take more strategic approaches to cybersecurity modernization across all infrastructure?

Join Government Technology and Fortinet on April 19 at 10 a.m. Pacific/1 p.m. Eastern as our panel of experts discusses how governments can make the most of this historic investment by addressing cybersecurity systematically across all infrastructures. We’ll cover topics like:

• The importance of focusing on interoperability: Why addressing digital infrastructures in isolation will limit benefits
• Planning for the long term: The importance of software-based solutions
• Making security an essential element: Why it’s critical to consider cybersecurity in every infrastructure project
