5 Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools

NOTE: Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools is available on some models only.

In today’s world, a computer belonging to you or anyone on your staff could be stolen, and critical information about your company could be seriously compromised. Encrypting everything on your computer hard drive makes it unreadable and inaccessible to any unauthorized person who might try to access it even if the drive has been removed from the computer or sent to a data recovery service.

Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools software is the industry’s first full volume encryption capability to be provided out-of-the-box. It provides complete data protection by encrypting your hard drive. When Drive Encryption is activated, you must log in at the Drive Encryption login screen, which is displayed before Windows starts up.

NOTE: Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools can be enabled through the Setup Wizard in the HP ProtectTools Administrative Console only.

NOTE: Drive Encryption is not supported on 64 bit operating systems when configured with RAID on systems that use an AMD processor.

Drive Encryption:

●Allows you to encrypt everything on your internal hard drives

●Gives you easy password access and pre-boot authentication

●Supports Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7

●Makes use of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) embedded security chip if equipped and configured with TPM

Various tasks can be performed in Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools:

●Manage Drive Encryption

◦Activate a TPM-protected password

◦Encrypt or decrypt individual drives

◦Activate a self encrypting drive (SED)

●Backup and Recovery

◦Create backup keys

◦Register for online recovery

◦Manage an existing online recovery account

◦Perform a recovery

CAUTION: If you decide to uninstall the Drive Encryption module or if you are using a backup and restore solution, you must first decrypt all encrypted drives. If you do not, you will not be able to access the data on encrypted drives unless you have registered with the Drive Encryption recovery service. Reinstalling the Drive Encryption module will not enable you to access the encrypted drives.
