- Federal cybersecurity program evaluation — GAO must assess effectiveness, awareness, and coordination of federal cyber resources for small businesses
The details
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) — Congress's independent research arm — must conduct a study on how well federal cybersecurity programs are serving small business owners. The study will examine common cyber threats facing small businesses, identify what federal programs and tools exist to help them, assess how aware small businesses are of those resources, evaluate whether the programs are well-coordinated, and identify gaps in coverage. GAO will then submit a report to the House and Senate small business committees with its findings and recommendations for improving the effectiveness, awareness, and coordination of federal cyber assistance.
