One of the bills, the Small Business Administration (SBA) Cyber Awareness Act, was introduced by Reps. Young Kim (R-CA) and Jason Crow (D-CO). It aims to strengthen the capabilities of the SBA when it comes to handling and reporting cyber threats that affect small businesses.
The SBA Cyber Awareness Act would expand the SBA’s cybersecurity operations by requiring the agency to inform Congress about its ability to combat cyberthreats. The report would include details on the SBA’s cybersecurity infrastructure, cybersecurity improvement strategy, the use of equipment manufactured by Chinese companies, and any cyber incident at the agency.
