The performance period for the grant runs from January 22, 2026, through September 30, 2028.<\/p>\n<p>Funding will support two key initiatives:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Implementation<\/li>\n<li>Migration to a .gov Domain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These projects directly align with federal objectives to enhance governance structures, improve cybersecurity assessments, implement risk-based security protections, and ensure personnel are appropriately trained to respond to cyber incidents.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The SLCGP is designed to help state and local governments reduce systemic cyber risk and improve resilience against cyber threats. Through this award, Lathrup Village will strengthen account security protections and enhance public trust by transitioning to a secure, verified .gov domain, ensuring residents can confidently access official City communications and services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis investment reinforces our commitment to protecting the City\u2019s digital infrastructure and the sensitive information entrusted to us by our residents,\u201d said City Administrator Mike Greene. \u201cCybersecurity is not optional.
