Security contols-Types9 (7)

Hello,
Sorry i dont understand the ( deterrent ) explanations.
it is not clear what does it mean ( attempt to discourage security policy violations)????
and ( while deterrent relies on individual making the right choice)???

Thanks,

@Marco-Salameh great question, the deterrent controls are there to make an attacker "think twice," before attacking a system or location. They attempt to "deter" or "discourage" the malicious actor, examples:

Surveillance systems
Alarms
Guards
Fences
Lighting in certain areas

@wes-bryan
Very clear now, i do thank you so much

Best Regards,
