What Is Security And Protection In Linux OS?

Well Linux offers amazing Security control. You have simple commands that you can use on terminal to lock, hide, password protect, encrypt, manage users, groups and much much more.

you can even enter in to administrative mode or rather i shall say ROOT or Super user from within the Terminal. You can execute any commands from terminal using sudo or su command, the user can execute super user commands. No need to log off and log in to the system.

you also have chown, chgrp commands which will change file and group level permissions.

This is just a beginning, I highly recommend you to try all sorts of commands and check for yourself How linux rocks!
