“Cybercrime is one of the greatest risks to every business in the world. Cybercriminals have realized small entities are more exposed than larger businesses that have dedicated in-house IT personnel overseeing their systems and networks. Unfortunately, just 14 percent of small businesses have a plan in place for keeping their company secure. This is why Congress and the SBA must continue to make cybersecurity training and resources a top priority for our Nation's small firms. Through H.R. 1649, U.S. small businesses will be more prepared and better protected against cyber threats. This bill has bipartisan support and is essential to enhancing America's cyber infrastructure, by starting with the most vulnerable businesses. Our committee remains dedicated to advancing more policies to address the cyber challenges of small employers. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support the bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.”
