Which type of security control is primarily designed to discourage potential attackers from attempting to breach an organization's defenses?
Deterrent controls
Preventive controls
Detective controls
Corrective controls
Deterrent controls are security measures that are put in place to discourage potential attackers from attempting to breach an organization's defenses. They work by making the target appear more difficult, time-consuming, or risky to attack. Security cameras are a prime example of a deterrent control because their presence can make potential intruders think twice about attempting to gain unauthorized access, as they know their actions may be recorded and used as evidence against them. Preventive controls aim to stop an incident from happening, detective controls identify incidents as they occur, and corrective controls are used to limit the damage after an incident.
