System Configuration

The System Configuration page displays system configuration and security information. The configuration information is for viewing only, but some of the security settings can be changed.

You can see a summary of information about the different components of the system. If you wish, you can embed this summary in intranet sites that use wiki markup.

To view system-configuration information

1. In the Main Menu, under Tools, select System Admin > System Configuration.
The System Configuration screen opens and displays the Default tab, in which the system-configuration information is displayed.

To embed the system-configuration information in an intranet site

1. In the System Configuration screen, in the Wiki tab, select and copy the text.
2. In the intranet site, paste the text in the desired Wiki location.

SpeechMiner complies with the security standards defined in the PCI-DSS standard (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard). These standards are designed to prevent confidential information from being accessed by unauthorized individuals. For example, one purpose of SpeechMiner security settings is to prevent unauthorized people from hearing calls that are stored in the database. Some of the options that must be implemented in SpeechMiner in order for it to conform to the PCI-DSS standard are:

• Call export is disabled for all users.
• Anonymous Permalinks are disabled for all users.
• Numbers are filtered out of all call playback.
• All audio files are encrypted.
• The password for encrypting audio files has been changed from its default value.
• The password for the default user account (Administrator) has been changed from its default value.
• Access to the SpeechMiner browser-based interface is available using Windows, Genesys or SpeechMiner authentication.
• Access to the system is blocked after ten consecutive attempts to log in with an invalid password.
• Permissions are set properly for all users and components of the system.
• All web services use a secure API, and can only be accessed using a token that is supplied by the system upon user login.
• Secure SSL connections are used for all connections to and between servers in the system.
• The SSL certificate is valid and includes all the domains used by the site.
• All user events are logged.
• Tracing is disabled on all web servers in the system.

Important

Some of the recommendations listed above are not relevant to Recording UI mode, because they relate to features that are not supported in that mode.

The settings that must be configured in order to implement these options are defined in various locations in the system, including SMConfig (the SpeechMiner configuration tool), the SpeechMiner web interface, and the configuration files of specific system features. In some cases, more than one setting must be configured in order for a requirement to be met. (For example, SSL connection requirements must be configured separately for different servers in the system.) The Security Center lists all of the PCI-related settings in your system and, whenever possible, automatically checks the system to see if they conform to the standard. In some cases, the system can correct an issue for you by changing the relevant settings; in other cases, you must manually correct the settings. You can also choose not to implement some or all of the PCI requirements; you can manually change the settings as you see fit.

The Security Center also contains a log of all security-related actions that were performed in the system. The log lists configuration changes and failed login attempts. This information can be used to monitor the system for security breaches.

Important

The information in this section is intended to explain how to work with the Security Center interface. It includes a general overview to the subject of PCI implementation in SpeechMiner. For comprehensive information about securing your SpeechMiner environment, please follow the guidelines in the SpeechMiner PCI Implementation Guide. Following these guidelines does not ensure that your entire system is PCI-DSS compliant, or guarantee the confidentiality of your data. It is your company's responsibility to work with your IT department to ensure that your hardware and network systems are secure from internal as well as external intrusions. Genesys Telecommunications Laboratories makes no claims about the security of your network or the extent to which it is PCI-DSS compliant.

Opening the Security Center

The Security Center is accessed from the System Configuration screen.

The upper part of the tab contains PCI-compliance information. The lower part contains a log of security-related user actions. Both tables can be sorted by any of the columns they contain.

1. In the System Configuration screen, click the Security Center tab.

The PCI-DSS Recommended Configuration section contains a table that lists all of the PCI-related settings. The table has three columns:

Column	Description
Setting	Name of the setting
Explanation	Description of what conditions must be met in order for the setting to conform to the standard. Note: If the system cannot check whether the setting meets the conditions, "Make sure that..." appears at the beginning of the explanation.
Action	The current status of the setting, and/or the type of action required to correct it: Fixed: The setting conforms to the PCI requirements. Fix: The setting does not conform, but the system can correct it. Manual: Either the setting does not conform, or the system cannot check whether the setting conforms.

To correct a setting that can be fixed automatically

1. Under Action, click Fix.

You are prompted to confirm that you want to change the setting.

2. Click Yes.
The system corrects the setting and changes its Action status to Fixed.

To correct a setting manually

1. Follow the instructions under Explanation to manually correct the problem.
For additional information, please refer to the SpeechMiner PCI Implementation Guide.

To correct all the settings that can be fixed automatically:

1. At the top of the list, click Reset.

You are prompted to confirm that you want to change the settings.

2. Click Yes.
The system corrects the settings and changes their Action status to Fixed.

Important

Settings that require manual correction are not changed when Reset is selected.
