FISMA seems more about federal information security policies, so I doubt it’s the right answer. I think it’s probably between the CFAA and the Computer Security Act.

I feel like the Computer Security Act might be relevant too, but I can't recall if it specifically targets unauthorized access like the CFAA does.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act is the key law that defines and prohibits unauthorized access to computers, so that's got to be the right answer here.

Okay, let me see if I can break this down. The question is asking which act provides a clear statement on proscribed computer-related activities to law enforcement, computer owners, and potential criminals. Based on that, I think the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act is the best answer.

This seems like a straightforward question about the objectives of a programme. I'll carefully read through the options and try to identify the one that is not an objective.
