Compartment - A resource’s compartment describes the group of people (department, project team, etc.) allowed access.

Users’ security clearances determine what kinds of resources they may access.

Classification and clearance - MAC relies on a classification system (restricted, secret, top-secret, etc.) that describes a resource’s sensitivity.

These security labels consist of two elements: MAC works by applying security labels to resources and individuals. A non-discretionary system, MAC reserves control over access policies to a centralized security administration. Mandatory access control uses a centrally managed model to provide the highest level of security.

Then we will explore how, given the shift to remote and blended workforces, security professionals want more dynamic approaches to access control. We will review the advantages and disadvantages of each model. Security requirements, infrastructure, and other considerations lead companies to choose among the four most common access control models: Access control is the combination of policies and technologies that decide which authenticated users may access which resources. Nobody in an organization should have free rein to access any resource.
