Example 1: A Stock Broker wants to make sure his e-mails only go to specific clients and ensure no one can fake the e-mail account and intercept it. The Stock Broker signs himself and his clients up with Privacy Manager. Privacy Manager issues them a Certificate of Authentication (CA) to each user. Using this tool, the Stock Broker and his clients must authenticate before the e-mail is exchanged.

Privacy Manager for HP ProtectTools makes it easy to send and receive e-mail where the recipient has been verified and authenticated. The mail service can also be encrypted. The encryption process is similar to the one used during general credit card purchases on the Internet.

Example 2: A CEO wants to insure that only the members of the board of directors can view the information he sends through e-mail. The CEO uses the option to encrypt the e-mail sent and received from the directors. Privacy Manager Certificate of Authentication allows the CEO and directors to have a copy of the encryption key so only they can decrypt the confidential e-mail.

Computrace for HP ProtectTools (formerly known as LoJack Pro)

Computrace for HP ProtectTools is a service that can track the location of a stolen computer whenever the user accesses the Internet.

Example 1: A school principal instructed the IT department to keep track of all the computers at his school. After the inventory of the PCs 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 authorities and Computrace officials. The computers were located and were returned to the school by the authorities.

Computrace for HP ProtectTools can also help remotely manage and locate computers as well as monitor computer usage and applications.
