System Integrity Protection is enabled by default, but can be disabled. Apple says that the root user can be a significant risk factor to the system's security, especially on systems with a single user account on which that user is also the administrator. OS X El Capitan has a new security feature called System Integrity Protection (SIP, sometimes referred to as 'rootless' ) that protects certain system processes, files and folders from being modified or tampered with by other processes even when executed by the root user or by a user with root privileges (sudo).
