Asset Tracking and Security
Asset tracking features incorporated into the computer provide key
asset tracking data that can be managed using HP Systems Insight
Manager, HP Client Manager Software 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 the environment and to leverage the
investment in existing tools.
HP also offers several solutions for controlling access to valuable
components and information. ProtectTools Embedded Security, if
installed, prevents
unauthorized access to data and checks system
integrity and authenticates third-party users attempting system access.
(Refer to HP ProtectTools Embedded Security Guide, on the
Documentation CD for more information.) A Security feature such as
ProtectTools helps 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 events can be
automatically forwarded to system management applications to
deliver proactive notification of tampering with a computer’s internal
components.

ProtectTools is available on some systems.
