Explain briefly about Mandatory Access Control and Discretionary Access Control.

Mandatory Access Control allows new access control modules to be loaded, implementing new security policies. Some provide protections of a narrow subset of the system, hardening a particular service

Discretionary access control means that each object has an owner and the owner of the object gets to choose its access control policy. There are loads of objects in Windows that use this security model, including printers, services, and file shares. All secure kernel objects also use this model, including processes, threads, memory sections, synchronization objects such as mutexes and events, and named pipes
