Description

Several cybersecurity laws were introduced to address computer crime, protect digital information, and strengthen national security. Key regulations include the Comprehensive Crime Control Act, Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), FISMA, and the Federal Cybersecurity Enhancement Act, which establish legal frameworks for prosecuting cybercrime, securing federal information systems, and protecting critical infrastructure. These laws also emphasize due care, due diligence, and accountability in information security management.
