Make $20 billion in energy infrastructure investments for state, local, and tribal governments contingent on cyber modernization
Promote a secure network with a $100 billion broadband investment
Create a new tax credit for transmission infrastructure that will help finance cyber technologies for the electric grid
Safeguard critical infrastructure and grid resilience
Expand and improve the technology modernization fund
Improve security monitoring and incident response activities
