3.5 Asset Tracking and Security
Asset tracking features incorporated into the computer provide key asset tracking data that can be
managed using HP Insight Manager, HP Client Manager or other system 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 your investment in existing tools.
HP also offers several solutions for controlling access to valuable components and information.
Security features available on select models help to prevent unauthorized access to the internal
components of the personal computer. By disabling parallel, serial, or USB ports, or by disabling
removable media boot capability, you can protect valuable data assets. Memory Change alerts
can be automatically forwarded to system management applications to deliver proactive
notification of tampering with a computer’s internal components.
✎
Protect Tools is available as an option on select systems.
