SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux) is a security architecture integrated into the Linux kernel that provides mandatory access control (MAC), allowing administrators to define fine-grained policies restricting what processes and users can access. It is widely used by system administrators and security professionals in enterprise Linux distributions like Red Hat and CentOS to harden systems against exploits and unauthorized access.
