In this video, we’re diving into the fundamentals of **security controls**: what they are, the types (technical, physical, administrative), and how they function (preventive, detective, corrective, deterrent, compensating, recovery).

Just like a home uses locks, alarms, and fences to stay secure, organizations layer various controls to protect their systems, data, and people from threats — whether it's hackers, insider risks, or human error.

👉 **In This Video You’ll Learn:**

- What security controls are and why they matter
- Technical vs. Physical vs. Administrative controls

Whether you’re just getting started in **cybersecurity** or brushing up for a **certification exam** (like CompTIA Security+ or CISSP), this is your go-to guide for understanding one of the most important security fundamentals.
