The U.S. Small Business Administration is celebrating National Small Business Week from April 28 - May 4, 2024. This week recognizes and celebrates the small business community’s significant contributions to the nation. Organizations across the country participate by hosting in-person and virtual events, recognizing small business leaders and change-makers, and highlighting resources that help the small business community more easily and efficiently start and scale their businesses. 

To add to the festivities, this NIST Cybersecurity Insights blog showcases the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 Small Business Quick Start Guide, a new resource designed to help the small and medium-sized business (SMB) community begin to manage and reduce their cybersecurity risks. You’ve worked hard to start and grow your business. Are you taking the steps necessary to protect it? As small businesses have become more reliant upon data and technology to operate and scale a modern business, cybersecurity has become a fundamental risk that must be addressed alongside other business risks. This Guide is designed to help.
