ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) Practice Question
An organization wants to implement a security measure that automatically filters malicious network packets before they reach internal hosts. Which of the following is an example of the appropriate technical control?
Publish an acceptable use policy for all staff.
Mount CCTV cameras to monitor building entrances.
Provide mandatory security awareness training sessions.
Configure a network firewall to block unwanted traffic.
Technical controls are safeguards implemented through hardware, software, or firmware. A network firewall that inspects and filters packets is a classic technical control because it is a software or hardware device that directly enforces security on data in transit. Security awareness training and acceptable use policies are administrative controls, while closed-circuit video cameras are physical controls. Although each plays an important role, only the firewall fits the definition of a technical control designed to protect systems electronically.
