Explanation

Detective controls are a crucial component of a cybersecurity program, since they provide visibility into malicious activity, breaches and attacks on an organization's IT environment. An intrusion detection system (IDS) is a device or software application which monitors a network or systems for malicious activity or policy violations (meaning that it's a detective control) (see ISC2 Study Guide, chapter 4, module 1). Patches are corrective controls. Backups are compensating controls, since they provide redundancy for the information in a given system.
