authentication. The HP ProtectTools Java C ard is a two factor authentication method, requiring

both possession and a PIN to authenticate. Passwords, fingerprints, and face recognition are

single factor authentication methods. To achieve multifactor authentication with these methods,

users can use them in combina tions such a s fingerprint with pa ssword.

User management

In an HP ProtectTools secured computer, security is built in from the ground up and completely

integrated. There is no longer a separate pre-boot password, a separate drive encryption password

and a separate operating system password. Security is global to the computer and users exist in

W indows as well as in the pre-boot environment.

User ma na gement, accessed from HP ProtectTools Administrative Console, is designed to allow yo u to

create and delete ProtectTools users system wide. To ensure that users and security policies are

synchronized between the operating system and the pre-boot environment, users should always be

added and deleted using HP ProtectTools user management.

Backup and re stor e

G ood information security is not simply about the best technologies, it also requires best practices.

Regular backup of security policies, encryption keys, credentials and certificates is a best practice that

imposes small administrative overhead in the short term, but can result in significant cost savings in

the long run.

HP ProtectTools Backup and Restore is not a user data backup solution. It is designed to backup

security related data such as login credentials and encryption keys. Therefore, the backup and restore

process only takes a few minutes. Backup and Restore is available from the Security Manager by

clicking on the Adva nced link (Figure 3 ).
