El Capitan ships with a new OS X feature: System Integrity Protection (SIP), also known as “rootless” mode. This reduces the attack surface for malware that relies on modifying system files by preventing
any user, whether with system administrator (“root”) privileges or not from modifying a number of operating system directories and files.</p><p>
It doesn’t eliminate the possibility of malware or folks finding a way to subvert this mode, but it does increase the difficulty of finding a hole to penetrate.
