Summary
NIST updated its event listing on August 4, 2026 for a free August 20, 2026 webinar with CISA, FBI, and NIST speakers on common small-business cyber risks and practical safeguards. This is an awareness session, not a new framework, rule, or legal requirement.
Why it matters
The session is aimed at small firms with limited IT resources and comes from the same agencies that publish the voluntary NIST Cybersecurity Framework. Attending is optional and does not change any legal duty.
Recommended action
Read the NIST event page and decide whether you or your IT owner should attend. If you go, keep a short written note of any follow-up items for your own environment.
