Exam SSCP topic 2 question 82 discussion

The statement that is false regarding protection rings is: D. They provide users with direct access to peripherals. Protection rings primarily manage access between different levels of privileges within a system, separating and controlling the privileges of processes or components. They don't typically provide direct access to peripherals for users; instead, they regulate access and permissions for processes within the system's different privilege levels or rings. Direct access to peripherals is usually managed by device drivers or operating system modules, not by the protection rings themselves.

They provide users with direct access to peripherals. Protection rings are a security feature in operating systems that help control and restrict access to resources and memory based on privilege levels. Typically, users do not have direct access to peripherals in most modern computer systems, regardless of the protection ring they are in. Access to peripherals is usually managed by the operating system and drivers, not directly by users.
