Introduction
HP’s decorated history in personal computer security has been based on the belief that security should be
built in and not bolted on.
This belief has led to the development of
HP Client Security
(formerly known as
HP ProtectTools); the specially developed multi-layered, hassle-free enterprise-level Windows application.
It is the reason why HP includes
Client Security
on Business Desktops, Notebooks and Workstations. HP
believes that PCs should not become points of vulnerability that threaten an entire infrastructure.
Instead
they should be trusted, easy to use, extensible and manageable.
Rather than simply installing third-party software to satisfy a requirement, HP innovation also extends with
chosen software partners to design software that is optimized for HP hardware. Each security software
solution receives thousands of hours of development, validation, and quality assurance.
As a part of the HP holistic approach, HP Client Security is built into the BIOS, hardware, and software layers.
HP plans to continue our rich heritage in enterprise security; while maintaining an advantage over the
competition by consistently adding new security features desired by customers.
HP Security Strategy
The HP security strategy to protect users is encompassed through :
Data Security (Shown in Table 1)
Device Security (Shown in Table 2)
Identity Security (Shown in Table 3)
HP believes these areas of protection cannot be accomplished with only bolted on solutions.
This is why HP
ensures that security is built-in to the PC in all three layers:
BIOS - HP BIOSPhere integrates many security features
at the core of the PC.
Software – HP Client Security software features.
Hardware – Vetted out security related hardware modules.
These multiple protection
points guard against security attacks, loss or theft.
As a result, HP Business PCs
can defend businesses and users conveniently.
HP
Client Security
helps you meet compliance requirements
with thoroughly tested comprehensive, multi-layer features that are easy to deploy and manage. Tables 1,
2, and 3 below provide a list of features for each of the three layers falling under Data, Device, or Identity.
The following paragraphs provide a more complete description of each feature.

HP DriveLock
1
Protects your hard drive data by not allowing it to operate unless you
enter the appropriate password when the system is turned on.
DriveLock supports both Self-Encrypting and standard hard drives.
HP Automatic DriveLock
2
With Automatic DriveLock the BIOS provides the password when the
system is turned on. This prevents the drive from being used in
another system unless the BIOS Administrator passwords match.
HP Disk Sanitizer
3
Allows you to permanently destroy data on the hard drive prior to
redeployment or system disposal. Unlike hardware-based Secure
Erase (See Secure Erase on page 6), Disk Sanitizer is a software
solution that rewrites the entire drive.
Only traditional hard drives are
supported by Disk Sanitizer.
