Popular topics of interest for localities

Collaboration with our partners, especially at the local level, is critical in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

In response to feedback, we've collated resources and combined them into one easy-to-use location specifically for localities in Virginia.

As this effort evolves this featured section will be updated as needed. If you have questions or suggestions, please contact us at vitacomms@vita.virginia.gov.


Federal cybersecurity grant opportunities

The federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 created the state and local cybersecurity grant program to help state, local, and tribal entities work together to improve cybersecurity.  

VITA, in collaboration with our partners, including Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM) serving as the State Administrative Agency (SAA), has applied for and been awarded grants for all available program years. 

VITA is currently taking applications for the first project funded from the grant awards – Cybersecurity Plan capability assessment.  

To apply for this project, and for more information about the federal grant program, please visit our Grant Programs page.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month (CSAM) for the Commonwealth of Virginia

Visit reportcyber.viriginia.gov FAQs page for related questions and answers on the use of this form.

Additional cyber resources

In order to provide thousands of essential public services ranging from disaster assistance to social security to water and electricity, all levels of government must ensure their cyber infrastructure is safe, secure and resilient.
