HP Client Security Commercial Managed IT Software

HP ElitePad 900 G1 and EliteBook Revolve 810 with Windows 8.x include a 4 year license of Absolute Data
Protect.
All devices with ADP also feature the BIOS Absolute Persistence module. If the Agent is removed or missing,
the persistence module will automatically reinstall itself so you can stay connected with your device even
when it’s lost or stolen.
On devices that include Absolute Data Protect (ADP) out of the factory, an Absolute Reminder application
allows the user to install and activate ADP via an icon or Windows 8 start menu tile. In addition, HP Client
Security alerts the user accordingly.
If activated but the device has not called home in a certain number of days, ADP sends an alert to the ADP
module page A yellow alert for 3 to 7 days or red for more than 7 days. The users are prompted to request
an immediate agent call or given a link to the Consumer Customer Center login page at
https://my.absolute.com/.
Individual Customers can choose to upgrade to LoJack for Laptops Premium which provides additional theft
recovery and a service guarantee - more information can be found at

How It Works
ADP installs a stealthy and persistent agent on each device. The agent has no dependencies on Windows
Presentation Foundation (WPF) or .NET. The agent calls home frequently to report on its status and to
check for any server initiated actions such as data delete, device freeze, the filing of a theft report, or other
endpoint actions. IT Administrators can remotely report on and manage all devices from a central
management console (“Commercial Customer Center”). The patented Absolute persistence technology
ensures that the agent software is always present and running so that the device stays connected.
Communication between the Agent and the Monitoring Center uses:
 Key delivery RSA 1024, session encryption - GCM with AES 128 Optional
 FIPS encryption 140–2: Key delivery RSA 3072, session encryption GCM with AES 128
