A school district maps controls on both category and type axes. How should a lobby security camera primarily be labeled?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Category and type are two different stickers on the same jar. A lobby camera is physical gear that mostly watches — so physical + detective. You can wear both labels at once; the exam loves that.
Full Explanation
Security+ expects candidates to classify controls along category (technical, managerial, operational, physical) and type (preventive, deterrent, detective, corrective, compensating, directive) simultaneously. A lobby camera is a physical control that primarily detects and records activity, so physical + detective is appropriate. The axes are not mutually exclusive. Cameras may also deter, but the core sensing role is detective; they do not by themselves prevent every act or correct system compromise.
