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 in a cubicle or open environment. 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 46" ◦ "Enabling and disabling power-on authentication support for Embedded Security on page 47" ◦ "Assigning a name to a Java Card on page 39" ◦ "Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools on page 52" ● 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 DriveLock hard drive protection on page 48." ● 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: ◦ Embedded Security "Setup procedures on page 28" ◦ "Using the Personal Secure Drive on page 31" 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.
