That’s why cybersecurity feels overwhelming to beginners.

• Security awareness training

• Fences

• Cameras

• Policies

• MFA

• WHY a control exists

• WHAT problem it solves

• HOW controls work together

In this article, I explain:

✔ Administrative vs Technical vs Physical controls

✔ Preventive vs Detective vs Corrective controls

✔ Real-world examples that actually make sense

If cybersecurity controls have always felt confusing, this will make them click.
