Small businesses especially vulnerable to cyber attacks

Congressman Daniel Webster

This week, my bill, HR 2105 the NIST Small Business Cybersecurity Act, passed the House. The bill will help small businesses better address their cybersecurity risks to help them survive – and thrive – in the face of such adversity. Small businesses are especially vulnerable, with some reports noting that 43 percent of cyber attacks specifically target them.  

As the owner of a multi-generational small business, I know what small businesses can accomplish when equipped and empowered with the right tools. Recently, when my own business was attacked, I experienced the havoc a hacker can cause and the importance of cybersecurity. This bill will provide small businesses in Florida and across the country with the tools they need to meet the threats and challenges of the modern world. A similar bill has passed the Senate and I am confident we can work out the technical differences and send a bill to President Trump.

Congressman Daniel Webster represents The Villages in the U.S. House of Representatives.
