Tribal applicants must address how the following program objective will be met in their applications for FY 2023: Objective 1: Develop and establish appropriate governance structures, including by implementing or revising Cybersecurity Plans, to improve capabilities to respond to cybersecurity incidents and ensure continuity of operations. In addition to Objective 1, the following objectives are eligible, but not required, for FY 2023 applications: Objective 2: Understand their current cybersecurity posture and areas for improvement based on continuous testing, evaluation, and structured assessments.
