HP Pro 3130 MT User Manual

Preventing unauthorized access from internal or external locations
Unauthorized access to an unsecured business PC presents a very tangible risk to critical data such as
information from financial services, an executive, or R&D team, and to private information such as patient
records or personal financial records. The following features help prevent unauthorized access:
●
The pre-boot authentication feature, if enabled, helps prevent access to the operating system. See
the following chapters:
◦
Credential Manager for HP ProtectTools (Password Manager) on page 34
◦
Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools on page 31
●
Credential Manager for HP ProtectTools helps ensure that an unauthorized user cannot get
passwords or access to password-protected applications. See the following chapter
◦
Credential Manager for HP ProtectTools (Password Manager) on page 34
●
Device Access Manager for HP ProtectTools allows administrators to restrict access to writeable
devices so sensitive information cannot be copied from the hard drive. See the following chapter:
◦
Device Access Manager for HP ProtectTools on page 44
●
File Sanitizer allows you to securely delete data by shredding critical files and folders or bleaching
the hard drive (write over data that has been previously deleted but is still present on the hard drive
in order to make recovery of the data more difficult). See the following chapter:
◦
File Sanitizer for HP ProtectTools on page 38
Creating strong password policies
If you require the use of strong password policy (a complicated password that is difficult to hack) for
dozens of Web-based applications and databases, Credential Manager for HP ProtectTools provides a
protected repository for passwords and Single Sign On convenience. See the following chapter:
●
Credential Manager for HP ProtectTools (Password Manager) on page 34
Additional security elements
Assigning security roles
To properly protect the data, one important practice is to divide responsibilities and rights among various
types of administrators and users.
NOTE: In a small organization or for individual use, these roles may all be held by the same person.
For HP ProtectTools for Small Business, the security duties and privileges can be divided into the
following roles:
●
Administrator—Applies and manages the security features. Can also enable and disable some
features.
●
User—Uses the security features.
