While reviewing a client's workstation security, you suggest disabling all unused USB ports through Group Policy and deploying endpoint DLP that blocks copying files to flash drives. Under the standard information-security control categories, which type of control are you primarily recommending?
Disabling USB ports and using data-loss-prevention software stop an unwanted action from occurring in the first place; they do not merely detect or correct it after the fact. Therefore, they are classified as preventive controls. Detective controls (such as log monitoring) alert when an event occurs, corrective controls (such as patching) fix a condition after detection, and deterrent controls (like warning banners) only discourage misconduct without technically blocking it.
