SECURE Small Business Act
S 1458 establishes a temporary program to help small businesses in specific industries - like retail, healthcare, construction, and manufacturing - purchase cybersecurity services. The Small Business Administration will create a free online marketplace where businesses can jointly buy cybersecurity products from approved vendors. The program expires on September 30, 2024, and requires a separate study on federal cybersecurity training initiatives for small businesses. This bill provides a purchasing tool but does not impose new regulations or alter existing cybersecurity standards.
