IDS (Intrusion Detection System) is a detective control, as it is designed to detect and alert when an intrusion attempt or attack is occurring or has already occurred. It does not prevent the attack from happening, but it helps in detecting the attack and providing a quick response. Restorative controls are designed to restore the system to its normal state after an attack has occurred.
