See "Device class configuration (advanced) on page 56." ● The DriveLock helps ensure that data cannot be accessed even if the hard drive is removed and installed into an unsecured system.

Achieving key security objectives

The HP ProtectTools modules can work together to provide solutions for a variety of security issues,

including the following key security objectives:

●

Protecting against targeted theft

●

Restricting access to sensitive data

●

Preventing unauthorized access from internal or external locations

●

Creating strong password policies

Protecting against targeted theft

An example of this type of incident would be the targeted theft of a computer containing confidential

data and customer information at an airport security checkpoint. The following features help protect

against targeted theft:

●

The pre-boot authentication feature, if enabled, helps prevent access to the operating system. See

the following procedures:

●

“

Enabling and disabling smart card power-on authentication support

on page

”

●

“

Enabling and disabling power-on authentication support for Embedded Security

on page

”

●

“

”

●

“

Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools

on page

”

●

DriveLock helps ensure that data cannot be accessed even if the hard drive is removed and

installed into an unsecured system. See “

Enabling and disabling Automatic DriveLock hard drive

protection

on page

.”

●

The Personal Secure Drive feature, provided by the Embedded Security for HP ProtectTools

module, encrypts sensitive data to help ensure it cannot be accessed without authentication. See

the following procedures:

●

●

Restricting access to sensitive data

Suppose a contract auditor is working onsite and has been given computer access to review sensitive

financial data; you do not want the auditor to be able to print the files or save them to a writeable device

such as a CD. The following features help restrict access to data:

●

Device Access Manager for HP ProtectTools allows IT managers to restrict access to writeable

devices so sensitive information cannot be printed or copied from the hard drive onto removable

media. See “

Device class configuration (advanced)

on page

.”

●

The DriveLock helps ensure that data cannot be accessed even if the hard drive is removed and

installed into an unsecured system. See “

Enabling and disabling Automatic DriveLock hard drive

protection
