Description: Technical controls are security measures implemented through technology to protect an organization’s information and systems. These controls are fundamental in risk management and are used to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber threats. They include a variety of tools and practices, such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, data encryption, and multi-factor authentication. Implementing technical controls is essential to ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data, especially in various environments including on-premises and cloud settings. As organizations adopt more advanced and complex technologies, the need for effective technical controls becomes even more relevant, as they help mitigate vulnerabilities and comply with security regulations. These controls not only protect the technological infrastructure but also contribute to customer trust and the company’s reputation in the market.
