central file store. SSM then automatically updates any down-revision system software on the networked PCs to the later levels available in the file store. Since SSM only allows distribution of SoftPaq updates to the correct client system models, administrators can confidently and efficiently use SSM to keep system software updated. System Software Manager integrates with enterprise software distribution tools such as HP Client Automation solutions, HP Client Manager from Symantec, and Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS). Using SSM, you can distribute customer-created or third-party updates that have been packaged in the SSM-format. SSM may be downloaded at no charge by visiting http://www.hp.com/go/ssm. NOTE: SSM does not currently support remote ROM flash on systems that have Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption enabled and are using TPM measurements to protect the BitLocker keys because flashing the BIOS would invalidate the trust signature that BitLocker created for the platform. Disable BitLocker via Group Policy in order to flash the system BIOS. You can enable BitLocker support without TPM measurements of BIOS to avoid invalidating the BitLocker keys. HP recommends you keep a secure backup of the BitLocker credentials in case of recovery emergencies. HP ProtectTools Security Manager HP ProtectTools security software provides security features that help protect against unauthorized access to the computer, networks, and critical data. Enhanced security functionality is provided by the following software modules, and is accessible through HP ProtectTools Security Manager: HP ProtectTools Security Manager is the single console through which all other modules are accessed. ● Credential Manager for HP ProtectTools ● Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools ● Privacy Manager for HP ProtectTools ● File Sanitizer for HP ProtectTools ● Java Card Security for HP ProtectTools ● Embedded Security for HP ProtectTools ● Device Access Manager for HP ProtectTools ● LoJack Pro for HP ProtectTools HP ProtectTools provides two versions that can be utilized: HP ProtectTools Security Manager and HP ProtectTools Administrative Console. Both Administrator and user versions are available in the Start > All Programs menu. The software modules available for your computer may vary depending on your model. For example, Embedded Security for HP ProtectTools is available only for computers on which the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) embedded security chip is installed. HP ProtectTools software modules may be preinstalled, preloaded, or available for download from the HP Web site. For select HP Pro Desktops, HP ProtectTools is available as an after market option.
