Small Business Cyber Training Act of 2022

The Small Business Cyber Training Act of 2022 requires the Small Business Administration (SBA) to establish a cybersecurity training program for counselors at Small Business Development Centers. Under this law, these centers must ensure that a portion of their staff—either 10% of employees or at least five individuals—is certified to provide specialized cybersecurity planning and assistance.

For small business owners, this means increased access to free or low-cost federal resources to help protect their companies from digital threats and data breaches. By training local advisors to handle complex security issues, the law aims to provide small businesses with the technical expertise necessary to secure their operations and customer information.
