Credential Manager for HP ProtectTools

Credential Manager is the glue that brings the different security technologies together to create a behavior. You can specify how the different available security technologies work together and create a unique authentication method, including alternatives to passwords when logging on to Microsoft Windows. You can also take advantage of a single sign-on capability that automatically remembers credentials for websites, applications, and protected network resources.
 
Multifactor Authentication
Authentication is based on three personal traits
  • Knowledge (e.g. passwords)
  • Possession (e.g. key)
  • Physical Characteristic (e.g. biometrics)
Traits can be combined to achieve a higher level of security  

BIOS Configuration

Simplified access to firmware security & configuration settings.
 

Java Card Security for HP ProtectTools

  • Java Card Security allows you to configure an HP ProtectTools Java Card for Windows as well as pre-boot authentication.
  • This allows Java Cards to be initialized, configure, backed up and maintained.
  • Java Cards can be personalized with your personal data (name, key, PIN (and a BIOS pre-boot password).

Embedded Security for HP ProtectTools



  • TPM: Each TPM is unique and is bound to a particular laptop. It is independent of other systems components. Examples: platform authentication, protected storage, data integrity and privacy.
  • HP DriveLock: bypass strong user authentication by removing the hard drive from a secure system. HP DriveLock locks the hard drive with a password.
  • HP Enhanced DriveLock: Adds a layer of protection to the standard DriveLock feature through a tie-in to TPM pre-boot authentication.

    HP Privacy Filter

    • Is OS-independent so doesn't leave traces of data behind for users to find with another operating system.
    • Eliminates the need to purchase third-party software to erase hard drives prior to recycling, reassigning, returning, or otherwise disposing of your hardware.
