HP ProtectTools features
The following table details the key features of HP ProtectTools modules:
Module
Key features
Credential Manager for HP ProtectTools
●
Credential Manager acts as a personal password vault.
●
Single Sign On remembers multiple passwords for various
password-protected Web sites, applications, and network
resources.
●
Single Sign On offers additional protection by requiring
combinations of different security technologies, such as a Java™
Card and biometrics, for user authentication.
●
Password storage is protected through encryption and can be
hardened through the use of a TPM embedded security chip and/
or security device authentication, such as Java Cards or
biometrics.
Embedded Security for HP ProtectTools
●
Embedded Security uses a Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
embedded security chip to help protect against unauthorized
access to sensitive user data or credentials stored locally on a PC.
●
Embedded Security allows creation of a personal secure drive
(PSD) for protecting user data.
●
Embedded Security supports third-party applications (such as
Microsoft Outlook and Internet Explorer) for protected digital
certificate operations.
Java Card Security for HP ProtectTools
●
Java Card Security configures the HP ProtectTools Java Card for
user authentication before the operating system loads.
●
Java Card Security configures separate Java Cards for an
administrator and a user.
BIOS Configuration for HP ProtectTools
●
BIOS Configuration provides access to power-on user and
administrator password management.
●
BIOS Configuration provides an alternative to the pre-boot BIOS
configuration utility known as
f10
Setup.
●
DriveLock, enhanced with the embedded security chip, helps
protect a hard drive from unauthorized access, even if it is
removed from a system, without requiring the user to remember
any additional passwords beyond the embedded security chip
user password.
Device Access Manager for HP ProtectTools
●
Device Access Manager allows IT managers to control access to
devices based on user profiles.
●
Device Access Manager prevents unauthorized users from
removing data using external storage media and from introducing
viruses into the system from external media.
●
The administrator can disable access to writeable devices for
specific individuals or groups of users.
Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools
●
Drive Encryption provides complete, full-volume hard drive
encryption.
●
Drive Encryption forces pre-boot authentication in order to decrypt
and access the data.
