Asset tracking and security
Asset tracking features incorporated into your workstation provide asset tracking data that can be
managed using HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM), HP CMS, or other systems-management
applications.
Seamless, automatic integration between asset tracking features and these products enables you to
choose the management tool that is best suited to your environment and to leverage investments in
existing tools.
HP also offers several solutions for controlling access to valuable components and information:
●
HP ProtectTools Embedded Security prevents unauthorized access to data, checks system
integrity, and authenticates third-party users attempting system access.
●
Security features such as ProtectTools and the Hood Sensor (Smart Cover Sensor) help prevent
unauthorized access to your data and to the internal components of the workstation.
●
By disabling parallel, serial, or USB ports, or by disabling removable-media boot capability, you
can protect valuable data assets.
●
Memory Change and Hood Sensor (Smart Cover Sensor) alerts can be forwarded to system
management applications to deliver proactive notification of tampering with a workstation’s internal
components.
ProtectTools, the Hood Sensor (Smart Cover Sensor), and the (Smart Cover Lock) are available as
options on select systems.
Use the following utilities to manage security settings on the HP workstation:
●
Locally, using the Computer Setup (F10) Utility
●
Remotely, using the HP CMS or System SSM, which enables the secure, consistent deployment
and control of security settings from a simple command line utility
