Step 4: Write the CFAA Analysis

After completing your research on the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, write a one- to two-page analysis of the statute and its effectiveness. This analysis will be Exhibit A for the final assignment.

Step 6: Computer Crime Comparison Table

Now that you have identified CFAA clones from at least three states, you will compare and contrast them with one another and the CFAA. Be sure to include specific vulnerabilities that the statutes are intended to address regarding computer access. Document your conclusions in the first section of the Computer Crime Comparison Table titled "Statute Comparisons." This table will aid you in developing your solutions.

Step 7: Research State Case Judicial Opinion

So far in this project, you have familiarized yourself with cybercrime and laws that were written to protect against cybercrime. In this step, you will determine how effective you believe these statutes to be. Identify at least one actual use case for each state as well as for the CFAA to acquaint yourself with how well state/CFAA laws have been implemented. Continue to complete the Computer Crime Comparison Table that you began in Step 6. Document your conclusions in Section 2, Actual Cases.

Submit your five- to seven-page written statement with the following attached as appendices: Cybercrime Awareness Summary, Computer Fraud and Abuse Act Analysis, and Computer Crime Comparison Table. The appendices do not contribute to the length of the written statement.

1.3: Provide sufficient, correctly cited support that substantiates the writer's ideas.

2.2: Locate and access sufficient information to investigate the issue or problem.

7.4: Align an organization's security posture to applicable laws, statutes, and regulatory documents.
