HP Elitebook PC Security
While remote work allows you to keep your PC fleet out of sight, endpoint security is something that you are thinking about more than ever. You are not alone in feeling this way. In a survey of cybersecurity professionals, an overwhelming 94 percent stated that they are more concerned about security now than they were before COVID-19, and 64 percent stated that maintaining security visibility is more difficult with employees working remotely. Security risks related explicitly to remote work top their lists of concerns. Consider the following questions regarding the security of your company's computer system. What if your company's PCs were protected from cyberthreats from the inside out instead of the outside in? What if you had the ability to easily manage your fleet from a distance? What if your remote PC fleet was able to self-sufficiently maintain itself?
Is your PC security built on a firm foundation?
What happens when hackers deliberately target your most critical defenses? Is it possible to protect your core defenses inside a bunker that is impenetrable to malware? If cyberattacks are successful in destroying the foundation of your defenses, you will have complete control over your computers. Hardware-based security is your best line of defense, as it assists you in protecting against, detecting, and recovering from cyberattacks. The HP Endpoint Security Controller serves as the foundation of the security architecture that protects HP Elite Pcs and other HP devices. HP Sure Start, HP Sure Run, and HP Sure Recover are all built into this physically isolated, cryptographically protected chip, which also contains hardware-enforced, self-healing security features.
Do your PCs know a threat when they see one?
Traditional virus protection works by comparing code to a database of known malware and blocking anything that matches the criteria. However, more than 350,000 new malware variants are created every day, and many of them make use of artificial intelligence to disguise themselves through continuous evolution. Are your conventional defenses up to the challenge? AI must be fought with AI. HP Elite PCs are protected by HP Sure Sense, which employs deep-learning neural networks to detect and defeat malware that has never been seen before on a computer. Malware that does get through is isolated in a micro-VM container so that it can't escape, and then it is destroyed by the HP Sure Click security solution.
Can your PCs self-heal?
Destructive firmware attacks, which attack the BIOS level of a computer, can completely devastate it, corrupting it from the inside out. An attack at the operating system level can result in hours or days of downtime for employees and IT attention before systems are restored and ready to resume normal operations. Is it possible for your computers to repair themselves if an attack goes undetected? A comprehensive solution must take into account the possibility that an attack will eventually evade detection defenses. In addition to HP Sure Start and HP Sure Recover, an HP Elite PC can automatically self-heal its BIOS from attacks or corruption and quickly recover its operating system from any location, whether or not there is a network connection available.
Do your PCs require proof of identity?
For business computers, password protection is insufficient; the majority of hacking-related breaches are the result of compromised credentials. How can you protect your most vulnerable endpoint vulnerability—your users—from everything from spear-phishing attacks that trick users into providing login information to poor password hygiene practices such as weak, shared, and reused passwords? With multifactor authentication, you can keep your PCs—and your entire network—safe from unauthorized access. Configure HP Elite PCs to require up to three verifications for login, including an optional fingerprint reader and an infrared camera for facial recognition, in order to protect against identity theft. These policies are set at the hardware level and cannot be changed.
Do your PCs require proof of identity?
Even in the best of circumstances, managing remote devices is a difficult task. In today's distributed workforce, where employees use a mix of personal and business devices, having to manage more remote devices at the same time has risen to become one of the top five most difficult challenges for IT managers. Is your jumble of devices and policies a haven for cybercriminals on the prowl? Take command of your PC endpoints with a platform that enables you to manage security settings from any location at any time. HP Sure Admin provides IT administrators with a secure digital signature that they can use to remotely manage BIOS settings over the network.
Do your PCs protect against prying eyes?
Hackers use a variety of techniques in addition to simply digging through your hard drives. With everything from creepy camera-commanders to over-the-shoulder coffee-shop lurkers, unwelcome eyes can keep an eye on your employees—and what they're working on—from either side of the screen. Is it possible for your PCs to protect your employees and your confidential information? With these built-in privacy tools, you can put an end to visual hackers' game of I Spies:
- HP Privacy Camera, which is a physical shutter that protects users from surveillance;
- HP Sure View, which is a one-touch privacy shield that makes the screen unreadable to those in close proximity; and
- HP Presence Aware, which confirms the user's identity and unlocks the PC without the need for a keyboard and mouse.
Although the threat of cyberattacks has never been greater, selecting a business PC that is capable of self-defence against those attacks has never been more straightforward. HP Elite PCs are designed with advanced, hardware-based security features that protect, detect, and recover from cyberattacks before they have a chance to disrupt your remote workforce — and your business — and cause significant damage. It is up to you to make the next move!
