The Senate Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee recently appropriated $757 million in funding for cybersecurity programs at the Department of Homeland Security in fiscal year 2015.
The funding was announced by U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu, D-La., who serves as chair of the subcommittee.
Local funding
Landrieu emphasized that a significant amount of this money will go toward growing and improving the I-20 Tech Corridor in Louisiana.
“With innovative and strong universities, the third-largest Internet Service Provider in the country and the Cyber Innovation Center, Louisiana’s I-20 Tech Corridor is leading the way to build the high-skilled workforce and warriors we need to protect this country from ever-increasing cyberthreats,” said Landrieu. “This funding ensures that the Department of Homeland Security has the resources it needs to combat a growing threat.”
