The federal fiscal year is winding down, even as states continue to wait for instructions on a $1 billion cyber grants program.

An alert from the U.S. and its allies about threats against managed service providers is a "wakeup call" for companies that local governments depend upon.

State and local IT officials are equally eager for details on the new federal cybersecurity grant program as they plan for the year ahead.

Buoyed by the American Rescue Plan, CIOs have been able to make investments in new projects and "mundane stuff." But they're trying to be strategic about it.
