The desktop Security Center will provide easy-to-access security features in Ubuntu.
In this first release, users can enable experimental application permissions prompting for fine-grained control over how apps access files and folders.
Permissions management requires the supporting prompting-client snap to be installed alongside; this is included by default on Ubuntu 24.10 and future releases.
New features will be added in coming releases.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap can be installed on Pop!_OS from the command line. Open Terminal from the Applications launcher and type the following:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install Security Center, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install desktop-security-center
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
