What are the three types of security controls NIST?

System-Specific Controls: System-specific controls are security controls that are designed to provide a security capability for a particular information system. Examples of system-specific controls include access control, authentication, encryption, and logging.

Common Controls: Common controls are security controls that provide a security capability for multiple information systems. Examples of common controls include risk assessment, data protection, and incident response.

Hybrid Controls: Hybrid controls are security controls that have both system-specific and common characteristics. Examples of hybrid controls include firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and virtual private networks.
