Seamless, automatic integration between asset tracking features and these products enables you to choose the management tool that is best suited to the environment and to leverage the investment in existing tools. HP also offers several solutions for controlling access to valuable components and information. ProtectTools Embedded Security, if installed, prevents unauthorized access to data and checks system integrity and authenticates third-party users attempting system access. (Refer to HP ProtectTools Embedded Security Guide, on the Documentation CD for more information.) A Security feature such as ProtectTools helps to prevent unauthorized access to the internal components of the personal computer. By disabling parallel, serial, or USB ports, or by disabling removable media boot capability, you can protect valuable data assets. Memory Change events can be automatically forwarded to system management applications to deliver proactive notification of tampering with a computer's internal components. ✎ ProtectTools is available on some systems.
