HP ProtectTools security products description and
common use examples
Most of the HP ProtectTools security products have both a user authentication (usually a password)
and an administrative backup to gain access if passwords are lost, not available, forgotten, or any
time corporate security requires access.
NOTE: Some of the HP ProtectTools security products are designed to restrict access to data. Data
should be encrypted when it is so important that the user would rather lose the information then have
it compromised. It is recommended that all data be backed up in a secure location.
