Preventing unauthorized access from internal or external locations If a PC containing confidential data and customer information is accessed from an internal or external location, unauthorized users may be able to gain entry to corporate network resources or data from financial services, an executive, or R&D team, or private information such as patient records or personal financial data. The following features help prevent unauthorized access: ● 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 47" ● "Enabling and disabling power-on authentication support for Embedded Security on page 48" ● "Assigning a name to a Java Card on page 40" ● "Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools on page 59" ● Embedded Security for HP ProtectTools helps protect sensitive user data or credentials stored locally on a PC using the following procedures: ● Embedded Security "Setup procedures on page 28" ● "Using the Personal Secure Drive on page 31" ● Using the following procedures, Credential Manager for HP ProtectTools helps ensure that an unauthorized user cannot get passwords or access to password-protected applications: ● Credential Manager "Setup procedures on page 12" ● "Using Single Sign On on page 18" ● Device Access Manager for HP ProtectTools allows IT managers to restrict access to writeable devices so sensitive information cannot be copied from the hard drive. See "Simple configuration on page 55." ● The Personal Secure Drive feature encrypts sensitive data to help ensure it cannot be accessed without authentication using the following procedures: ● Embedded Security "Setup procedures on page 28" ● "Using the Personal Secure Drive on page 31" Creating strong password policies If a mandate goes into effect that requires the use of strong password policy for dozens of Web-based applications and databases, Credential Manager for HP ProtectTools provides a protected repository for passwords and Single Sign On convenience using the following procedures: ● Credential Manager "Setup procedures on page 12" ● "Using Single Sign On on page 18" For stronger security, Embedded Security for HP ProtectTools then protects that repository of user names and passwords. This allows users to maintain multiple strong passwords without having to write them down or try to remember them. See Embedded Security "Setup procedures on page 28."

Preventing unauthorized access from internal or external locations
If a PC containing confidential data and customer information is accessed from an internal or external
location, unauthorized users may be able to gain entry to corporate network resources or data from
financial services, an executive, or R&D team, or private information such as patient records or personal
financial data. The following features help prevent unauthorized access:
●
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
47
”
●
“
Enabling and disabling power-on authentication support for Embedded Security
on page

Embedded Security for HP ProtectTools helps protect sensitive user data or credentials stored
locally on a PC using the following procedures:
●

”
●
Using the following procedures, Credential Manager for HP ProtectTools helps ensure that an
unauthorized user cannot get passwords or access to password-protected applications:
●

”
●
Device Access Manager for HP ProtectTools allows IT managers to restrict access to writeable
devices so sensitive information cannot be copied from the hard drive. See “
Simple
configuration
on page
55
.”
●
The Personal Secure Drive feature encrypts sensitive data to help ensure it cannot be accessed
without authentication using the following procedures:
●

”
Creating strong password policies
If a mandate goes into effect that requires the use of strong password policy for dozens of Web-based
applications and databases, Credential Manager for HP ProtectTools provides a protected repository
for passwords and Single Sign On convenience using the following procedures:
●
Credential Manager “
Setup procedures
on page
12
”
●
“
Using Single Sign On
on page
18
”
For stronger security, Embedded Security for HP ProtectTools then protects that repository of user
names and passwords. This allows users to maintain multiple strong passwords without having to write
them down or try to remember them. See Embedded Security “
Setup procedures
on page
28
.”
