New Cybersecurity Legislation Introduced to Protect Businesses

In response to the increasing number of cyberattacks targeting businesses, lawmakers have introduced new cybersecurity legislation aimed at strengthening protections for organizations of all sizes. The proposed bill, known as the Cybersecurity Accountability Act, requires businesses to implement robust cybersecurity measures and report breaches within 72 hours. Experts believe this legislation will encourage companies to adopt more stringent cybersecurity practices, thereby reducing the overall risk of data breaches. MSPs are urged to stay informed about these developments to assist clients in complying with new regulations and enhancing their security frameworks. MSPs should prepare to guide clients through the compliance process and implement necessary cybersecurity measures as new laws come into effect.
