of USB devices, network connections, and so on. An example would be a situation where outside vendors need access to company computers but should not be able to copy the data to a USB drive.

Example 1: A manager of a medical supply company often works with personal medical records along with his company information. The employees need access to this data, however, it is extremely important that the data is not removed from the computer by a USB drive or any other external storage media. The network is secure, but the computers have CD burners and USB ports that could allow the data to be copied or stolen. The Manager uses Device Access Manager to disable the USB ports and CD burners so they cannot be used. Even though the USB ports are blocked, mouse and keyboards will continue to function.

Example 2: An insurance company does not want its employees to install or load personal software or data from home. Some employees need access to the USB port on all computers. The IT manager uses Device Access Manager to enable access for some employees while blocking external access for others.

Computrace for HP ProtectTools (formerly LoJack Pro) (purchased separately)

Computrace for HP ProtectTools (purchased separately) is a service that can track the location of a stolen computer whenever the user accesses the Internet. Computrace for HP ProtectTools can also help remotely manage and locate computers, as well as monitor computer usage and applications.

Example 1: A school principal instructed the IT department to keep track of all the computers at his school. After the inventory of the computers was made, the IT administrator registered all the computers with Computrace so they could be traced in case they were ever stolen. Recently, the school realized several computers were missing, so the IT administrator alerted the authorities and Computrace officials. The computers were located and were returned to the school by the authorities.

Example 2: A real estate company needs to manage and update computers all over the world. They use Computrace to monitor and update the computers without having to send an IT person to each computer.
