AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Government Accountability Office (GAO), led by the Comptroller General, to study federal programs, resources, and tools meant to help small business owners deal with cybersecurity. The study would look at programs for identifying cyber risks, preparing for and recovering from cyber attacks, scams, and fraud, and finding money to pay for these efforts. It would describe common cyberattacks on small businesses, assess how aware businesses are of these programs, how much they use them, how well the programs work and coordinate, and make recommendations for improvement. The GAO would report its findings to the small business committees of the Senate and House. The bill does not authorize any additional funding.
