Okay, so what type of law deals with non-criminal disputes? And the answer is C civil law. This focuses on resolving non-criminal disputes between two parties and it's crucial for understanding.

Speaker 1:
Question seven what does CAN-SPAM Act regulate? A identity theft, b commercial emails, c electronic funds transfers or D data protection in healthcare. The CAN-SPAM Act what does it regulate? It regulates commercial emails, no-transcript, unwanted solicitations. You see this all the time in your emails and that's part of the CAN-SPAM Act. It's basically an integral part of all organization email policies and I highly recommend that you get aware of it, especially as you become a CISSP and you're doing cyber security for a company.
Speaker 1:
Question eight which law governs data protection in healthcare? A HIPAA, b, copa, c, pci, dss or D CFAA? And the answer is HIPAA A. The Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act that's a lot of words governs the protection of sensitive patient health information, particularly those that are crucial to the healthcare industry. Question nine what type of law governs public administration and regulatory agencies? A civil law, b administrative law, c criminal law or D contractual law? And the answer is B administrative law, administrative law, c Criminal law or D Contractual law, and the answer is B Administrative law.

Speaker 1:
Question 10. What does DMCA protect? A Trademarks, b Digital content, c Financial data or D health data. So DMCA, what does it protect? And it would be B digital content, right, it's the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, dmca, and it came out to protect digital content such as software, music and videos, etc. Etc. Not etc. Etc. Right, and so it's important for any type of media or software that you may have. The DMCA covers that.
Speaker 1:
Question 11. Which law protects children's online privacy? A COPA, b CISA, b GLBA or D EFTA? That is a acronym SUPA, and the answer is A COPA. This is the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, and it does protect online privacy of kids under the age of 13. And it is crucial for websites and online services that are specifically aimed towards children. So my YouTube channel. They ask me all the time do you promote to kids? And so therefore, you have to look and understand would you fall under COPPA?
Speaker 1:
Question 12, what does the RICO Act provide penalties for? Okay, rico. Okay, what does it plan act provide penalties for? A data breach, b email spam, spam, c organized crime activity or d copyright infringement. So, depending upon who your political ads are right now our political person is, I think, donald trump at the time of this recording is being looked under rico whether or not that's true or not, who knows, but rico has come up and I did not know what that really was at first, because I'd heard about it but didn't really know, and then, after I understood the the acronym, I'm like oh yeah, I know that, but the RICO Act is for organized crime activity and it's what it's called is. It's a racketeering, influenced and corruption organizations. That's what RICO Act stands for, and it provides extended penalties for criminal acts performed in an ongoing organization, basically around organized crime. So that's what they're trying to go after for the former president, united states. You, you, you, you.
Speaker 1:
Question 13. Which act focuses on targeting unsolicited marketing information? A the Can Spam Act, b EFTA, c, sox or D FISMA. So which act focuses on targeting unsolicited marketing information? And again, that's Can Spam Act. It's A, b is EFTA, c is SOX or D is FISMA. And the answer is A Can Spam Act. Now, the Can Spam Act did come out a while back and it deals with penalties as far as relating to sending volumes of unsolicited email spam to consumers, and the ultimate goal was to help reduce and drop that down. This was done here in the United States, and there are various other countries that look at something very similar to it, but the ultimate goal is we all get tired of this marketing information and we want to deal with it. One of the things you can do is, obviously, they had to put this unsubscribe on the emails and that helped reduce that as well. So it gives you the ability to opt out.
Speaker 1:
Next question which act focuses on electronic funds transfers. Which act focuses on electronic funds transfers? Answer A CAN-SPAM Act, b EFTA, c SOX or D FSMA. Okay, which act focuses on electronic funds transfers and they kind of get it out of the name? Efta? Electronic fund transfers provides protections, protections to consumers engaging in electronic fund transfers and it aims to help these folks that are dealing with. You know, this electronic data editor change. One of the things that this was back in 1978, this that was a brand new, burgeoning environment market. But they had to put some levels of controls in place because data was being transferred in a digital format. But this did help reduce the help of the rights of the transfers, liabilities and responsibilities of all the participants in that network.
Speaker 1:
Question 15, which law focuses on integrity of financial reporting by corporations? A FISMA, b SOX, c PCI, dss or D GDPR? And the answer is B SOX.
