The U.S. House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology on Tuesday unanimously approved the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Small Business Cybersecurity Act of 2017, which aims to provide small businesses with guidance to help them manage various cybersecurity risks.
Currently, small businesses account for approximately 54 percent of all sales in the United States and 55 percent of all jobs, making them prime targets for cyberattacks. Recent estimates from the U.S. National Cybersecurity Alliance stated that 60 percent of small businesses that fall victim to a cyberattack will close down within six months.
