Understanding Label-Based Access Control

Label-Based Access Control is a security model that restricts access to resources based on security labels attached to both users and data. Users are assigned security labels based on their clearance level or role, while data is also classified with labels denoting its sensitivity or confidentiality. This model ensures that only users with the appropriate clearance level can access data with matching security labels, helping to prevent unauthorized access and safeguard sensitive information.
