Lawmakers have introduced legislation to help protect small businesses from computer hackers and information security breaches.
On June 9, Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) joined Reps. Michael Michaud (D-Maine) and Donald Manzullo (R-Ill.) in introducing versions of the Small Business Information Security Act of 2008 in both houses of Congress.
The measures would create a Small Business Information Security Task Force at the Small Business Administration. The task force’s goal would be to help small firms understand and effectively respond to information security vulnerabilities, said Nick Christiansen, a spokesman for the Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee.
