Keeping a system safe and secure

Article Abstract:

Organizations must exert every effort to protect their computerized personnel information systems (CPIS) from 'nosey parkers,' theft, fraud, fire, and other safety and security threats. There are two basic ways by which companies can protect their systems: through physical security and system security. Measures falling under the first category include positioning the video display units in a way that they are not visible to other people, using removable hard disks to be locked away after office hours, and locking PCs and mainframes. Systems security strategies include using a password, using a systems auditor and making a complete and regular back-up copies of all stored files. Some CPIS vendors provide their customers assistance in developing security measures.

Loading security on to a system

Article Abstract:

Security of information is a major concern of users of networked micro-based personnel systems. Networked systems usually have sophisticated security measures, but personnel practitioners using computerized personnel information systems (CPIS) can also add other measures. These may include appointing someone to be responsible for the security of micro-based CPISs, controlling access to certain types of information, employing 'policeman' systems that require the identification of users before systems can be used, and using physical measures such as locking computer rooms and immobilizing keys.
