Your business faces a wide range of security threats, some more obvious than others. These events can destroy vital
information, damage your competitive advantage, or derail your daily operations. With increased computer theft,
security breaches, and transportable critical data, it becomes apparent that client security should be an integral
part of your overall IT infrastructure.
Open office environments, home offices and other public locations necessitate that additional steps must be taken to
secure this data on desktops, notebooks or workstations. The protection of these PC clients has now become the first
line of defense in securing the data that is stored on these devices, as well as restricting access to the IT
infrastructure to authorized individuals only.
From preventing targeted theft, to blocking unauthorized access to key company data and helping enforce strong
password policies, HP ProtectTools offers you a complete toolset to protect your key business data and assets.
HP ProtectTools is preinstalled or web downloadable on most business notebooks and on select HP business desktops
and workstations. Additionally,
HP ProtectTools are sold as an after-market option (security accessory) for select business desktops and workstations
in cases where HP ProtectTools are not pre-installed.
