Access to DOS
Most users do not need to access DOS. The ability to use DOS
usually complicates support, and skilled DOS users
have plenty of opportunity to change parts of the
configuration. Access to DOS, therefore, represents a reduction
in the level of security. Many terminal emulators make
it possible to access DOS by pressing a shortcut key,
so we cannot be sure that users only authorized for a terminal emulator are not also using DOS.
If the security
level of an IT system requires that users are not prohibited from unrestricted
use of DOS, the access control system must provide a corresponding
function. A large number of access control products on the market
provide a function preventing access to DOS from terminal emulators (including
DOS emulators) and from within Windows.
