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: ◦ "Assigning a name to a Java Card on page 32" ◦ "Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools on page 46" ● 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 25" ◦ "Using the Personal Secure Drive on page 27" ● 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 16" ● 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 43 ● 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 25" ◦ "Using the Personal Secure Drive on page 27" Creating and using strong passwords With all the passwords required to regularly access websites or secured applications, users tend to use a simple password for every application and website, or get creative and promptly forget which password goes with which application. Credential Manager for HP ProtectTools provides a protected repository for passwords and Single Sign On convenience using the following procedures: ● Creating a secure password on page 8 ● Credential Manager "Setup procedures on page 12" ● "Using Single Sign On on page 16" 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.
