Explanation
A corrective control is one that fixes or remediates a problem after it has been identified. In this scenario, the analyst discovered that the cameras were improperly positioned (a deficiency revealed by the incident) and then corrected that configuration. This is a textbook corrective action - addressing a known weakness after the fact. A detective control identifies or discovers incidents as they happen or after (e.g., reviewing footage). A deterrent control discourages potential attackers (e.g., visible camera signage). A preventive control stops incidents before they occur (e.g., proper camera placement from the start). Repositioning the cameras after the robbery is corrective, not preventive, because the incident already occurred.
