Episode 7 — Control Categories and Control Types (1.1)
This episode explains how security controls are grouped by category and by function, which is a common Security+ exam pattern. Technical controls use systems or tools, managerial controls guide planning and oversight, operational controls are performed through processes and people, and physical controls protect facilities and equipment. Control types describe what the control does: preventive controls stop events, detective controls identify events, corrective controls repair damage, deterrent controls discourage behavior, compensating controls provide alternatives when preferred controls are not possible, and directive controls tell people what is required. Exam scenarios often ask students to classify a control or choose the best control type for a specific risk.
