Paul Dybas Deb Simon Rob Starace HRIS Security
What is HRIS Security? • HRIS Security is the steps taken to ensure that employees personal data as well as the company’s data is kept safe. • Utilization of HRIS technology • Backup of system information • Encryption of all data • Human influence
Security Included in HRIS • Security features are included in HRIS systems • Separate employee access into levels • Customize access for each employee • Ex. switchboards Officer Access Front Line
Example of HRIS Security System • Ability to change which people have access to certain information. • Who can see certain information? • Who can edit information?
DATA BACKUP • Data backup consists of copying files and databases so that they can be recovered in the event of a system crash or failure
CLOUD STORAGE DATA SERVER USER INTERNET
93% of companies that lost their data for 10 days or more filed for bankruptcy • 70% of business people have experienced data loss
Types of Backup • Full and incremental first makes a full backup of your data and makes copies of all data changed since your last back up of any sort (full, incremental, or differential) • Differential backs up data that has been changed since the last full backup • Reverse delta stores the difference between current versions of a system and previous versions • Continuous data protection logs every change into the host system rather than scheduling backups periodically
Encryption • Process of encoding information in such a way that only the person with the key can decode it • Simple example of encryption • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5f0VkZVx-g • Two categories of encryption • Symmetric Key Encryption • Asymmetric Key Encryption
Symmetric Key Encryption • Data Encrypted Standard (DES) was the first major symmetric algorithm • 56 bit key offering 70 quadrillion combinations • 70,000,000,000,000,000 • Advanced Encrypted Standard (AES) • 128 bit, 192 bit, or 256 bit keys • 300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Asymmetric Key Encryption • Uses 2 keys at once • Private key • Public key • Keys are coded based on an infinite length of prime numbers • 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 etc. • Example of Asymmetric Key Encryption • http://computer.howstuffworks.com/encryption3.htm
Hash Value • The key in public key encryption is derived from something known as a hash value • Example • Use 128 bit numbers which has a possible 3,402,823,669,209,384,634,633,746,074,300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 different combinations
Authentication • Used to verify that information comes from a trusted source • Passwords, pass cards, digital signatures • Recently more technological forms of authentication have been applied to computer security due to the increased use of Biometrics • Fingerprint scans, retina scans, face scans, voice identification
Human Factor • Humans themselves play a key role in keeping HR information safe. • Organization • When implementing HRIS, grant access to administrative data to trusted IT specialists only. • Personal • Be aware of surroundings • Keep passwords private
