Filesystem Security

Definitions

1. The protection of files, directories, metadata, and mount behavior through permissions, ownership, encryption, auditing, and safe configuration. Filesystem security is fundamental because many higher-level controls fail if local file access is too permissive.

   In plain English: Protecting files and directories from unauthorized access or tampering.

   Example: "The container escape became serious because filesystem security on the host allowed access to sensitive mounts."
