MAC, or Mandatory Access Control, is a model that labels data and resources with varying levels of security (such as classified, secret, and top secret) and grants access based on those labels rather than grouping users and assigning permissions. This approach is commonly used in government and military systems to ensure that only authorized users can access information at their clearance level or below.
