I keep getting confused between the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the Economic Espionage Act. I think neither is the right answer for this question, though.

This feels similar to a practice question we did on legal frameworks in cybersecurity. I want to say it's A) The Computer Security Act, but I could be mixing it up.

I remember studying the Computer Security Act of 1987, but I don't think it specifically addresses management decisions like the question asks.

I think the answer might be B) The Federal Sentencing Guidelines of 1991, but I'm not entirely sure how it relates to senior management's responsibilities.
