Description
Malicious code includes viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and spyware. Protection mechanisms that guard against these attacks must be protected against access by unauthorized individuals. Without protection, software upgrades may be implemented that themselves pose a danger to the system. Only privileged users are allowed access to the configuration of the system. This control pertains to anti-virus products which are out of scope.
