The U.S. Government enforces cybersecurity laws and regulations aimed at protecting information systems from cyber threats. Federal regulations like FISMA, CISA, HIPAA, and COPPA establish standards for securing government agencies, critical infrastructure, and private entities. Additionally, state governments, such as California and New York, implement laws like the CCPA and SHIELD Act to enhance cybersecurity within their jurisdictions.
These regulations mandate data protection, breach notifications, and organizational responsibilities to mitigate risks. Compliance is achieved through policies, audits, and investing in technology to safeguard sensitive data across sectors like healthcare and finance.
