Guaranteeing Universal Access to Cybersecurity Act
The Guaranteeing Universal Access to Cybersecurity Act directs the Department of Homeland Security to provide $50 million annually starting in fiscal year 2027 to fund free cybersecurity services for state, local, tribal, and territorial governments. Under this bill, the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center must offer no-cost membership and access to threat intelligence and incident response support to all eligible entities that apply, with a specific focus on those lacking dedicated staff or operating on limited budgets. The legislation also requires the creation of a plan to identify and reach out to previously excluded or at-risk organizations to encourage their participation in the center's network. Additionally, the operator of the center must submit annual reports to Congress detailing membership levels, threat intelligence activities, and the effectiveness of outreach efforts to under-resourced entities.
