What is the general purpose of Administrative controls in the realm of security?

To react to security incidents
To prevent security breaches
To detect security vulnerabilities
To ensure policy compliance and alignment

The correct answer is: To ensure policy compliance and alignment

Administrative controls in the realm of security serve the general purpose of ensuring policy compliance and alignment. This involves defining security policies, procedures, and guidelines to govern the behavior of individuals within an organization to maintain the security of information assets. This helps in establishing a framework for acceptable use, access control, and other security-related activities within an organization. While options A, B, and C are essential aspects of security, such as reacting to security incidents, preventing security breaches, and detecting security vulnerabilities, these functions fall more under technical and operational controls rather than administrative controls.
