Use the following utilities to manage security settings on the HP computer:
●
Locally, using the Computer Setup Utilities. See the Computer Setup (F10) Utility Guide included
with the computer for additional information and instructions on using the Computer Setup Utilities.
Some computers also have HP BIOS Configuration for ProtectTools, which is a Windows-based
component of ProtectTools that allows administrators to configure BIOS security settings from
within the running OS.
●
Remotely, using HP Client Manager, HP Client Configuration Manager, or System Software
Manager. This software enables the secure, consistent deployment and control of security settings.
The following table and sections refer to managing security features of the computer locally through the
Computer Setup (F10) Utilities.
