For more information, please visit www.hp.com/go/easydeploy or refer to the HP Client Management Solutions White Paper. HP Client Security HP Security is built in, not bolted on. Rather than simply installing third-party software on HP Business Notebooks and Desktops, HP works with software partners to design software that is optimized for HP hardware. Each security software solution receives thousands of hour's development, coding, testing, and user validation. With HP, security is much more than just software, it is holistic. HP Security is also built into the BIOS, the hardware, and the specially developed console - the HP Client Security Manager. For more information, please refer to the HP Client Security White Paper. HP BIOS (F10 Setup) HP BIOS was designed to work seamlessly with HP Professional Innovations like HP Client Security Manager, HP Device Access Manager, HP Client Management Solutions and other HP software. HP has been developing BIOS for over three decades. The HP BIOS team works closely with key partners such as AMD, Intel®, LANDesk, Microsoft® and Novell along other partners. These partnerships have allowed HP to manage the support of new technologies, provide tight integration with software components and effectively respond to customer needs.
