Episode 9 — Compare Technical Administrative and Physical Controls for Better Decisions

This episode explains the three major control categories and shows how to distinguish them quickly when a question asks what kind of safeguard best fits a situation. Technical controls include tools such as access systems, encryption, and logging; administrative controls include policies, training, and governance; physical controls include locks, barriers, cameras, and facility protections. By walking through examples like badge misuse, poor password practices, and unsecured server rooms, this episode helps you choose controls based on the actual problem, layer them effectively, and avoid the exam mistake of selecting a familiar control that does not address the root risk.
