Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

An Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) is an example of a managerial control. Managerial controls are policies and procedures that govern an organization's operations, ensuring security through directives and rules. The AUP defines acceptable behavior and usage of company resources, setting guidelines for employees.

Physical controls refer to security measures like locks, fences, or security guards.

Technical controls involve security mechanisms such as firewalls or encryption.

Operational controls are procedures for maintaining security, such as backup and recovery plans.

I remember learning about AUP in class. It's a type of technical control that restricts access and usage of a system or network. I'm pretty sure that's the right answer.
