Controls Over Operating System and Security Software Supporting the Defense Finance and Accounting Service.

Abstract

The operating system is a major component of any computer system. It is an integrated collection of computer programs, service routines, and supervising procedures that direct the sequence and processing of computer applications, and isolate and protect individual programs from one another. Security software provides access controls that restrict the use of computer resources to authorized individuals and limit those individuals to the computer resources required to perform their jobs. The audit concentrated on Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and Defense Information Technology Services Organization (DITSO) information processing facilities supporting the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) Center, Columbus, Ohio (DITSO-Columbus). DITSO-Columbus makes $67 billion in annual payments to more than 528,000 payroll and contract accounts.
