HP ProtectTools security software 2011 - Technical white paper

Figure 1. HP ProtectTools plug-ins
HP ProtectTools can be accessed from a single, easy-to-use software interface. It is easily accessible
from the Windows® task bar, start menu, or desktop gadget. Each plug-in module provides a high
level overview of its purpose. The desktop gadget also indicates the overall security status of your
computer using an easy to understand color code. Detailed help files provide additional information.
HP ProtectTools is also centrally manageable at the workgroup or enterprise level using either
DigitalPersona Pro Workgroup or DigitalPersona Pro Enterprise management solutions.
Organizations have many security needs, which can create a management challenge. Central
management allows administrators to create role based security policies, decide how users log on,
remotely recover users who have lost their credentials, or revoke user credentials, all from a single
control point. HP ProtectTools with DigitalPersona Pro provides a single management platform for
multiple security applications. Client software for legacy computers allows deployment throughout
the entire organization. Mixed deployments of HP ProtectTools and DigitalPersona Pro client
software can be managed through a single management tool.
