An organization wants to discourage potential intruders by signaling that security measures are in place. By installing visible security cameras and posting warning signs around their premises, which type of control are they implementing?
The organization is implementing deterrent controls, which are designed to discourage potential attackers by making them aware of the security measures in place. Visible security cameras and warning signs serve as psychological deterrents, reducing the likelihood of an attack. Preventive controls aim to stop incidents from occurring by blocking unauthorized actions, such as through access controls or firewalls. Detective controls identify and alert to incidents after they have occurred, like intrusion detection systems. Corrective controls focus on limiting damage after an incident, such as restoring systems from backups.
