Summary
This chapter reviewed the control categories that help maintain security and efficiency within organizations. We learned that technical controls use advanced technology to protect systems and information, managerial controls establish policies and procedures to guide and oversee operations, operational controls ensure that day-to-day activities adhere to established processes, and physical controls involve tangible measures to safeguard assets and facilities. These categories all work together to create a comprehensive control framework, combining technological safeguards, effective management, streamlined operations, and physical security measures, thus promoting a secure and well-managed organizational environment.
