Cyber security-related funding is ample in the Senate’s fiscal 2015 appropriations bill for the Commerce Department, Justice Department, and science agencies, including allocations for projects designed to beef up security for government systems, conduct research, and encourage the growth of cyber security professions and businesses. For example, the bill would provide $15 million for the National Institute of Standards and Technology's planned National Cyber security Center of Excellence, according to FCW.com. The center, located in Rockville, Maryland, is intended to encourage colocation of a cluster of private-sector firms. In addition, the National Science Foundation would receive $159 million in cyber security research grants to distribute and a $45 million scholarship program to train cyber security professionals who agree to work in the federal government. The full Senate is expected to vote on the bill in upcoming weeks.
