These six categories form a layered cybersecurity framework, often called the "defense in depth" model, balancing prevention, detection, response, and governance. 
🔹 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐬
These block threats proactively through access restrictions and hardening. Examples include firewalls, MFA, encryption, and patch management to stop exploits before impact.

🔹𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐬
Real-time monitoring identifies ongoing or post-incident threats. Key tools are SIEM, IDS/IPS, EDR, and file integrity monitoring for anomaly detection.

🔹𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐬
Post-incident actions restore operations and fix root causes, such as incident response plans, backups, malware removal, and system reconfiguration.​

🔹𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐬
Alternatives when primary measures fall short, like WAF rules for unpatched systems or enhanced logging for weak access controls.

🔹𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐬
Protect tangible assets with CCTV, biometrics, locked facilities, and guards to prevent unauthorized hardware access.​
​
🔹𝐀𝐝𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐬
Policies and processes like risk assessments, training, change management, and incident response plans enforce governance.
