HP Client Security product description and common use
examples
Most of the HP Client Security products have both user authentication (usually a password) and an
administrative backup to gain access if passwords are lost, not available, or forgotten, or any time
corporate security requires access.
NOTE: Some of the HP Client Security products are designed to restrict access to data. Data
should be encrypted when it is so important that the user would rather lose the information than have
it compromised. It is recommended that all data be backed up in a secure location.
