Security Control Categories
The control categories identified in the CySA+ exam objectives are like those used by NIST:
Technical :—The control is implemented as a system (hardware, software, or
firmware). For example, firewalls, anti-virus software, and OS access control models are technical controls. Technical controls may also be described as logical controls.
Operational :The control is implemented primarily by people rather than systems.
For example, security guards and training programs are operational controls rather
than technical controls.
Managerial—The control gives oversight of the information system. Examples could
include risk identification or a tool allowing the evaluation and selection of other
security controls.
