HP ProtectTools Security Manager
ProtectTools Security Manager software provides security features that help protect against
unauthorized access to the computer, networks, and critical data. Enhanced security functionality is
provided by the following modules:
Smart Card Security for ProtectTools
Embedded Security for ProtectTools
BIOS Configuration for ProtectTools
Credential Manager for ProtectTools
The modules available for your computer may vary depending on your model. For example, Embedded
Security for ProtectTools requires that the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) embedded security chip
(some models only) be installed on your computer, and Smart Card Security for ProtectTools requires
an optional smart card and reader.
ProtectTools modules may be preinstalled, preloaded, or available for purchase from the HP Web site.
