Introduction
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

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,
