Answer Description

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.
