Correct answer: Deterrent, Detective.
Why this is the answer
The company implemented Deterrent controls by installing cameras and posting signs. Deterrent controls aim to discourage potential attackers from attempting to violate security policies. The visible cameras and signs act as a warning, making individuals less likely to engage in unauthorized activities. The company also implemented Detective controls. While cameras can deter, they also serve to detect incidents that have already occurred or are in progress. By recording activities, the cameras provide evidence that can be reviewed after an event, helping to identify perpetrators or understand the sequence of events. Preventive controls would actively stop an incident from happening, like a locked door. Corrective controls would fix a problem after it has occurred, such as restoring data from a backup. Directive controls are policies or guidelines, like a "no smoking" sign. Technical is a classification of control type (e.g., firewall), not a function.
