Which security control model is best described as 'preventing unwanted or unauthorized activity from occurring'?

Detective control

Compensating control

Preventive control

Corrective control

Quick Tips: Security Architecture and Engineering

Security Control Types: Understand the differences between preventive, detective, corrective, and compensating controls.

Security Models: Familiarize yourself with key models including Bell-LaPadula (confidentiality), Biba (integrity), Clark-Wilson (integrity), and Brewer-Nash (Chinese Wall).

Cryptography: Know the differences between symmetric and asymmetric encryption, hash functions, digital signatures, and key management principles.

Defense in Depth: Remember that layered security controls provide stronger protection than relying on a single control, no matter how strong.
