I agree with that first quoted person that "the cost of proper cybersecurity is not $0 and that means small business have more costs" but I'm not sure I see how lawmakers are going to make cybersecurity easier for small businesses. I guess they could give Microsoft a bunch of money to provide discounted malware protection? That's the terrible idea assume they're going to go with, but realistically, how can you possibly secure 80,000 small businesses' IT networks without the business incurring some expense?
