Preventing unauthorized access from internal or external locations

Unauthorized access to an unsecured business PC presents a very tangible risk to critical data such as information from financial services, an executive, or R&D team, and to private information such as patient records or personal financial records. The following features help prevent unauthorized access:

●The pre-boot authentication feature, if enabled, helps prevent access to the operating system. See the following chapters:

◦Password Manager for HP ProtectTools on page 25

◦Embedded Security for HP ProtectTools on page 49

◦Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools on page 29

●Embedded Security for HP ProtectTools helps strengthen the protection of sensitive user data or credentials stored locally on a PC. See the following chapter:

●Password Manager for HP ProtectTools helps ensure that an unauthorized user cannot get passwords or access to password-protected applications. See the following chapter

◦Password Manager for HP ProtectTools on page 25

●Device Access Manager for HP ProtectTools allows IT managers to restrict access to writeable devices so sensitive information cannot be copied from the hard drive. See the following chapter:

◦Device Access Manager for HP ProtectTools on page 53

●The Personal Secure Drive feature encrypts sensitive data to help ensure it cannot be accessed without authentication. See the following section:

◦Embedded Security for HP ProtectTools on page 49

●File Sanitizer allows you to securely delete data by shredding critical files and folders or bleaching the hard drive (write over data that has been previously deleted but is still present on the hard drive in order to make recovery of the data more difficult). See the following chapter:

◦File Sanitizer for HP ProtectTools on page 43
