Asset tracking and security
Asset tracking features incorporated into your workstation provide asset tracking data that can be
managed using HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM), HP Client Manager Software, or other systems
management applications. Seamless, automatic integration between asset tracking features and these
products enables you to choose the management tool that is best suited to your environment and to
leverage investments in existing tools.
HP also offers several solutions for controlling access to valuable components and information. HP
ProtectTools Embedded Security, if installed, prevents unauthorized access to data, checks system
integrity, and authenticates third-party users attempting system access. Security features such as
ProtectTools and the Hood Sensor (Smart Cover Sensor) help prevent unauthorized access to your
data and to the internal components of the workstation. By disabling parallel, serial, or USB ports, or by
disabling removable-media boot capability, you can protect valuable data assets. Memory Change and
Hood Sensor (Smart Cover Sensor) alerts can be automatically forwarded to system management
applications to deliver proactive notification of tampering with a workstation’s internal components.
NOTE:
ProtectTools, the Hood Sensor (Smart Cover Sensor), and the (Smart Cover Lock) are
available as options on select systems.
