American Cybersecurity Literacy Act

HR 2154, the American Cybersecurity Literacy Act, directs the Commerce Department’s Assistant Secretary to create a public education campaign about cybersecurity best practices. The campaign will teach Americans how to identify phishing emails, use stronger passwords and multi-factor authentication, secure smart home devices, and safely use public Wi-Fi networks. It specifically targets the general public with practical guidance on reducing everyday cybersecurity risks through accessible materials in multiple languages. The bill does not create new laws but focuses on raising awareness through clear, actionable steps for everyday internet users.
