Dial-Up Terminals

The use of dial‑up terminals presents a great threat to the security of a site. Terminal names for dial‑ups are defined to VTAM and TCAM. Define these names to CA Top Secret and force controls that include time of day and day of week restrictions.

Use special ACIDs for outside access. Do not allow internal ACIDs to be accessed from any facilities outside the building. In addition, audit these ACIDs.
