If executives are found liable for not properly protecting their company's assets and information systems, what type of law would apply in this situation?
ChatGPT answer:
D. Civil
Explanation:
In this context, the liability for not properly protecting company assets and information systems typically falls under civil law. Civil law deals with private disputes between individuals or organizations, and it is designed to compensate the injured party rather than impose criminal penalties. In the case of executives being held responsible for inadequate security measures, it would likely involve legal actions seeking damages or remedies for the harm caused to the company or its stakeholders, making it a civil matter.
In cases of negligence or misconduct, criminal charges might be applicable. This could include offenses such as computer fraud, unauthorized access to computer systems, or identity theft, depending on the specific actions and applicable jurisdiction.
Considering a recent C-suite executive was found guilty on criminal charges regarding compliance and breaches, i would have thought this would be criminal.
