A cybersecurity analyst notices that their vulnerability management system flags potential software vulnerabilities. To address these vulnerabilities effectively, which type of control would the analyst primarily apply in patching the software?
Preventative
Operational
Corrective
Detective
The appropriate control type for addressing and fixing discovered vulnerabilities by applying patches to software is a 'Corrective' control. Corrective controls are implemented to rectify, mitigate, or fix issues after they are identified. They are intended to restore systems to their original secure state. 'Preventative' controls are designed to stop issues before they occur, 'Detective' controls are used to identify and report issues, and 'Operational' controls include policies and procedures governing internal processes.
