HP ProtectTools security product description and common use examples

Most of the HP ProtectTools security products have both user authentication (usually a password) and an administrative backup to gain access if passwords are lost, not available, or forgotten, or any time corporate security requires access.

NOTE: Some of the HP ProtectTools security products are designed to restrict access to data. Data should be encrypted when it is so important that the user would rather lose the information than have it compromised. It is recommended that all data be backed up in a secure location.

Credential Manager for HP ProtectTools

Credential Manager (part of Security Manager) stores user names and passwords, and can be used to:

●Save login names and passwords for Internet access or e-mail.

●Automatically log the user in to a Web site or e-mail.

●Manage and organize authentications.

●Select a Web or network asset and directly access the link.

●View names and passwords when necessary.

Example 1: A purchasing agent for a large manufacturer makes most of her corporate transactions over the Internet. She also frequently visits several popular Web sites that require login information. She is keenly aware of security so does not use the same password on every account. The purchasing agent has decided to use Credential Manager to match Web links with different user names and passwords. When she goes to a Web site to log in, Credential Manager presents the credentials automatically. If she wants to view the user names and password, Credential Manager can be configured to reveal them.

Credential Manager can also be used to manage and organize the authentications. This tool will allow a user to select a Web or network asset and directly access the link. The user can also view the user names and passwords when necessary.

Example 2: A hard-working CPA has been promoted and will now manage the entire accounting department. The team must log in to a large number of client Web accounts, each of which uses different login information. This login information needs to be shared with other workers, so confidentiality is an issue. The CPA decides to organize all the Web links, company user names, and passwords within Credential Manager for HP ProtectTools. Once complete, the CPA deploys Credential Manager to the employees so they can work on the Web accounts and never know the login credentials that they are using.

Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools

Drive Encryption is used to restrict access to the data on the entire computer hard drive or a secondary drive. Drive Encryption can also manage self-encrypting drives.

Example 1: A doctor wants to make sure only he can access any data on his computer hard drive. The doctor activates Drive Encryption, which requires pre-boot authentication before Windows login. Once set up, the hard drive cannot be accessed without a password before the operating system starts. The doctor could further enhance drive security by choosing to encrypt the data with the SED (self-encrypting drive) option.
