Mod_security doesn't prevent users to get into your control panel - instead, it stops scripts etc or SQL Server queries from being run in the URL.

If you need it for a particular piece of software to function, it is important to ensure you only disable it for that particular software, and nothing else. Make sure the software you are using is secure, and ensure to keep it up to date!

Even if it is disabled however, there is not really a cause for concern, providing the scripts you are using have been correctly coded.
