Seamless, automatic integration between asset tracking features and
these products enables you to choose the management tool that is
best suited to the environment and to leverage the investment in
existing tools.
HP also offers several solutions for controlling access to valuable

the Smart Cover Lock, available on select models, help to prevent
unauthorized access to the internal components of the personal

automatically forwarded to system management applications to
deliver proactive notification of tampering with a computer's internal
components.
Protect Tools, the Smart Cover Sensor, and the Smart Cover Lock are
available as options on select systems.
