Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Fundamentals (SECFND, legacy) — Question 28

Which of the following access control models use security labels to make access decisions?

Answer options

• A. Mandatory access control (MAC)
• B. Role-based access control (RBAC)
• C. Identity-based access control (IBAC)
• D. Discretionary access control (DAC)

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Mandatory access control (MAC) is the correct answer because it relies on security labels to enforce access policies. Role-based access control (RBAC), identity-based access control (IBAC), and discretionary access control (DAC) do not fundamentally incorporate security labels in their decision-making processes.
