Security and Protection: Safeguarding the Operating System

Security and protection mechanisms in an OS are designed to prevent unauthorized access, ensure data privacy, and protect against malware
or malicious activities. The OS plays a vital role in safeguarding both the system and its users.

Key Concepts:
Authentication and Authorization: The OS verifies user identity (authentication) and assigns access levels (authorization) to various
resources.
Encryption: Data encryption ensures that sensitive data is unreadable to unauthorized users.
Access Control Lists (ACLs): The OS uses ACLs to define who can access specific files or resources, providing granular control over
permissions.
Malware Protection: The OS includes features like antivirus software, firewalls, and sandboxing to protect against malicious software.

Importance:

Security and protection are paramount to maintaining the integrity and privacy of data and resources in an OS. With the rise of cyber threats,
having robust security measures in place is essential for preventing data breaches, unauthorized access, and system compromises.
