Summary

What This Bill Does

This bill requires the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to establish a year-round federal program to raise public awareness about cybersecurity threats and best practices. The Director of CISA must create educational campaigns covering topics like password security, multi-factor authentication, software updates, and safe online behavior.

Who Benefits and How

The general public benefits from access to free cybersecurity education resources through a public online repository. Cybersecurity companies and IT service providers may see increased demand as awareness grows. Small businesses, rural communities, and low-income individuals are specifically targeted for outreach to receive equitable access to cybersecurity information.

Who Bears the Burden and How

CISA faces new administrative responsibilities including establishing the campaign program within 90 days, maintaining a public resource repository, coordinating with other federal agencies, and submitting annual reports to Congress. No significant burdens are placed on private sector entities as participation in consultations is voluntary.

Key Provisions

  • CISA must establish a cybersecurity awareness campaign program within 90 days of enactment
  • Annual reporting to Congress on campaign effectiveness and recommendations
  • Creation of a publicly accessible online repository of cybersecurity resources and tools
  • Focus on reaching underserved communities including low-income, rural, and small businesses
