US president Donald Trump signed the NIST Small Business Cybersecurity Act last week, a law that will help small businesses with resources to fend off cyberattacks, as part of a comprehensive governmental strategy to improve cybersecurity.
The act was written by U.S. Senators Brian Schatz (D-Hawai‘i) and James Risch (R-Idaho), and supported by John Thune (R-S.D.), Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.).
