Regulations like the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) have been implemented to uphold accountability and privacy. For your 500-750 word research assignment, I will delve into this regulation, outlining its origins and purpose and offering a substantiated opinion on whether the law fortifies absolute security or burdens organizations with bureaucracy. I will also provide a high-level overview of the legal issues governing the authorized conduct of cyber operations and the use of associated tools, techniques, technology, and data. This will involve referencing and citing peer-reviewed scholarly academic resources to support my perspective.
