Using firewall software
Firewalls are designed to prevent unauthorized access to a system or network. A firewall can be software you
install on your tablet and/or network, or it can be a combination of both hardware and software.
There are two types of firewalls to consider:
●
Host-based firewalls—Software that protects only the tablet it is installed on.
●
Network-based firewalls—Installed between your DSL or cable modem and your home network to
protect all the computers on the network.
When a firewall is installed on a system, all data sent to and from the system is monitored and compared with
a set of user-defined security criteria. Any data that does not meet those criteria is blocked.
Installing software updates
HP, Windows, and third-party software installed on your tablet should be regularly updated to correct
security problems and improve software performance.
CAUTION:
Microsoft sends out alerts regarding Windows updates, which may include security updates. To
protect the tablet from security breaches and viruses, install all updates from Microsoft as soon as you
receive an alert.
You can install these updates automatically.
To view or change the settings:
1.
Select the Start button, select Settings, and then select Update & Security.
2.
Select Windows Update, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
3.
To schedule a time for installing updates, select Advanced Options, and then follow the on-screen
instructions.
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.
Using TPM (select products only)
IMPORTANT:
Before enabling Trusted Platform Module (TPM) functionality on this system, you must ensure
that your intended use of TPM complies with relevant local laws, regulations and policies, and approvals or
licenses must be obtained if applicable. For any compliance issues arising from your operation/usage of TPM
which violates the above mentioned requirement, you shall bear all the liabilities wholly and solely. HP will
not be responsible for any related liabilities.
TPM provides additional security for your tablet. You can modify the TPM settings in Setup Utility (BIOS). The
default TPM setting is PTT2.0. You can change the setting to TPM 1.2 or to Hidden.
The TPM setting is only displayed after you set a BIOS administrator password. For more information on
setting a password, see
Setting Setup Utility (BIOS) passwords on page 26
You can modify the TPM settings in Setup Utility (BIOS). The default TPM setting is PTT2.0. You can change the
setting to TPM 1.2 or to Hidden.
