Using HP Touchpoint Manager (select models only)
HP Touchpoint Manager is a cloud-based IT solution that enables businesses to effectively manage and
secure their company assets. HP Touchpoint Manager helps protect devices against malware and other
attacks, monitors device health, and enables you to reduce time spent solving end-user device and security
issues. You can quickly download and install the software, which is highly cost effective relative to traditional
in-house solutions.
Securing your wireless network
When you set up a WLAN or access an existing WLAN, always enable security features to protect your network
from unauthorized access. WLANs in public areas (hotspots) like coffee shops and airports may not provide
any security.
Backing up your software applications and information
Regularly back up your software applications and information to protect them from being permanently lost or
damaged through a virus attack or a software or hardware failure. For more information, see
restoring, and recovering on page 42
Using an optional security cable
A security cable, which is purchased separately, is designed to act as a deterrent, but it may not prevent the
computer from being mishandled or stolen. Security cables are only one of several methods that should be
employed as part of a complete security solution to help maximize theft protection.
The security cable slot on your computer may look slightly different from the illustration in this section. For
the location of the security cable slot on your computer, see
Getting to know your computer on page 3
