| Organizations may require the information system to load the operating environment from hardware-enforced, read-only media. The term operating environment is defined as the code upon which applications are hosted, for example, a monitor, executive, operating system, or application running directly on the hardware platform.
Hardware-enforced, read-only media include CD-R/DVD-R disk drives. Use of non-modifiable storage ensures the integrity of the software program from the point of creation of the read-only image. This requirement is NA. Application servers are installed and do not load and execute from CD-ROM. |
