Fi g u r e 2. HP ProtectTools Administrative Console
The HP ProtectTools Security Manager framework allows you to adapt HP ProtectTools functionality
through add-on modules as your security needs change. This approach ensures that all new HP
ProtectTools security modules introduced over time are highly integrated. Ultimately, you benefit from
security features that are easier to use, manageable, and provide enhanced value by taking
advantage of the multiple security hardware attributes of the personal computing devi ce.
HP ProtectTools Security Manager provides global functionality needed by the installed security
modules, as well as security setup features such as the setup wizard, user management and
security backup and restore.
HP security setup wizard
Setting up security should be fast and easy. Getting started with HP ProtectTools is as easy as swiping
your finger on the HP fingerprint sensor or clicking the desktop gadget. This launches the setup
wizard for HP ProtectTools and guides you through a short list of simple questions after which your
notebook is setup protected. Th e setup wizard is designed to help you secure access to your computer
via a password, smartcard, fingerprint sensor, or face recognition. It allows you to safeguard the
information on your hard drive using data encryption, securing both access and data for total
information protection.
Security levels can be selected individually or in combination. At a minimum, HP recommends
accepting the default setting of W indows level and Pre-Boot Security. For total protection, Drive
Encryption can also be selected. The setup wizard then does the rest.
