kernel-level protection
Kernel-level protection refers to the security measures implemented at the core component of an operating system, known as the kernel, which protects it from unauthorized access, manipulation, and malware. It involves restricting access to critical system resources, validating user requests, and ensuring that only authorized actions can be performed, thus ensuring the overall security and stability of the operating system.
