00:01.590 --> 00:08.850
The default security mechanism that's available with the operating system uses file permissions.

00:08.850 --> 00:14.310
This is what we refer to as discretionary access control.

00:14.310 --> 00:22.980
We call it discretionary because basic object permissions are subject to the whims of the object owner.

00:22.980 --> 00:32.070
This simply means the owner of a file or process can grant access to that object to any other user on

00:32.130 --> 00:33.660
the system.

00:34.140 --> 00:44.580
As such if users refuse to adhere to strict security practices the safety of the operating system can

00:44.580 --> 00:47.510
be seriously affected.

00:47.550 --> 00:55.460
SC Linux removes this problem by adding an extra layer of security to the operating system.

00:55.470 --> 01:03.240
This is called Mandatory Access Control because when activated it becomes compulsory and can not be

01:03.240 --> 01:06.860
ignored or bypassed by anyone on the system.

01:07.200 --> 01:08.490
Not even vert.
