Wis. (WBAY) – A bill seeking to help local businesses against cybersecurity threats is heading to the Senate for consideration after passing the House. Rep. Tony Wied, R-Wis., sponsored the bill
If the bill is signed into law, the Small Business Administration would be required to provide resources to help small business owners have the necessary tools and best practices to fend off cybercriminals.
Wied said the bill would ensure people outside the nation’s capital receive the most up-to-date information to combat what has become a growing national security threat.
“Often times some of these small businesses are doing more than they need to and that could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, where this will give clear guidelines, like I said to small businesses here in Northeastern Wisconsin,” Wied said.
A second bill sponsored by Wied also passed the House. It would require the SBA administrator to maintain a webpage containing resources and information about small business concerns over onshoring manufacturing capacity.
