It would not hurt to have someone sit down with the small business
person and suggest simple measures to improve their computer security,
such as "change your passwords, update from Windows 98, renew your
anti-virus software subscription, and do backups".
The grant will provide up to $2100 for small businesses ...
What will the small business people get for $2100? Will they fill in an
on-line self assessment, and give permission for some automated tester
probe their system? Will anyone actually *talk* to them?
