The MAC (Mandatory Access Control) levels of a Department of Defense (DoD) information system refer to the security classifications that determine access to information based on its sensitivity. These levels include classifications such as Unclassified, Confidential, Secret, and Top Secret, each corresponding to specific handling and access requirements. The MAC framework restricts user access based on their clearance level and the classification of the information, ensuring that sensitive data is only accessible to authorized personnel. This system is crucial for maintaining national security and protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access.
