Agenda 08/12/2025 Item #16D 7 (Submittal of a grant application for Year 3 of the Local Government Cybersecurity Grant Program)8/12/2025
Item # 16.D.7
ID# 2025-2534
Executive Summary
Recommendation to approve submittal of a grant application for Year 3 of the Local Government Cybersecurity Grant
Program through the State of Florida Department of Management Services for an estimated value of $301,000.00 in
Cybersecurity services/software for Collier County Information Technology (IT) Division.
OBJECTIVE: To support Collier County’s Infrastructure and Asset Management strategic objective through
development and utilization of partnerships to ensure that government facilities meet public expectations by allowing for
enhanced security for the network and data infrastructure within Collier County computer systems.
CONSIDERATIONS: On July 11, 2025, the Florida Department of Management Services through their Florida Digital
Services (FLDS) Division announced Year 3 funding for the Local Government Cybersecurity Grant Program which
aims to enhance cybersecurity resilience in local governments with a priority focus on small and fiscally constrained
communities and those in rural areas of opportunity. The deadline for submission of this grant is August 31, 2025.
Collier County IT Services has received both Year 1 and Year 2 funding under this grant program saving Collier County
a total of $598,937.03 on cybersecurity software, such as Cisco Secure Email Appliance and Tenable One Enterprise
Vulnerability Scanning, based on the Award Value provided by the State of Florida for Year 1 & 2.
There are no matching funds to acquire the grant, and the State will pay the vendors for the software the County installs.
The only cost is that County IT will share telemetry (metrics, structured logs, and traces) data with the State so that it is
alerted if a threat is identified. This allows the State to share the vectors for that attack with other Local Government
Agencies that are participating in the grant.
This item is consistent with the Collier County strategic plan objective for Infrastructure and Asset Management.
FISCAL IMPACT: This grant program does not require a local match, and the State will pay the vendors for the
software the County installs. The County will also administer and maintain the software after installation with the
current complement of staff. If awarded, IT Services is currently estimating the value of the requested services/software
to be $301,000.00 and will ensure an Award Value is documented and included when brought to the Board for award
acceptance.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management impact associated with this Item.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to form and
legality and requires a majority vote for approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATIONS: Recommendation to approve submittal of a grant application for Year 3 of the Local
Government Cybersecurity Grant Program through the State of Florida Department of Management Services for an
estimated value of $301,000.00 in Cybersecurity services/software for Collier County Information Technology (IT)
Division.

Florida Local Government
Cybersecurity Grant
Application Aide
This application aide is designed to assist you by identifying the
information you will need to collect to submit an official grant
application through the online grants form. This document will
not be accepted as a grant application.
The Department of Management Services, acting through the Florida Digital Service (FLDS), is the
lead entity responsible for establishing standards and processes for assessing state agency
cybersecurity risks and determining appropriate security measures in the state of Florida
(s. 282.318, Florida Statutes).
Pursuant to section 282.3185(4), Florida Statutes, each local government shall adopt
cybersecurity standards that safeguard its data, information technology, and information
technology resources to ensure availability, confidentiality, and integrity. Dates for local
government adoption of the cybersecurity standards and required notification to the FLDS of its
compliance are also defined in section 282.3185(4), Florida Statutes.
The FLDS is administering the Florida Local Government Cybersecurity Grant Program to provide
assistance to Florida Local Governments for the development and enhancement of cybersecurity
risk management programs. This program is funded for the 2025/26 State of Florida fiscal year;
however, it is contingent upon funding approval and release. Future funding for this program is
subject to legislative appropriation.
