The most protected and manageable business PCs

The existence of the global threat marketplace has put businesses and individuals at risk of losing their most valuable and sensitive information online. At any time and place, hackers can access a laptop, computer or other digital devices, utilizing viruses and other means undetected, causing businesses and individual losses and distress over a breach of privacy.

Experts have recorded a 200% increase of attacks on notebooks and desktops while 92% Forbes Global 2000 companies have reported data breaches. The average cost for a data breach is $7.7 M.

The alarming rate of digital theft and intrusion convinced experts that EndPoint Security is an important security strategy that companies should invest in.

In an age of “digital theft”, HP offers desktop computers and laptops that feature advanced security technologies that businesses and individuals can benefit from.

But with HP Sure View, featuring 3M privacy technology, one can adjust the screen to appear darker to everyone else but the user.

Drive encryption is also available through bitlocker, a windows application available in the Elite PCs that can also encrypt the storage drives and increase file protection from online intruders.

While HP’s Elite PCs protect its users with sophisticated security technology, it remains user-friendly, easy to manage and a fast- processing computer.

The HP Elite PCs run on the 7th Generation intel core processors. Managing the security features and hardware is made easy with HP Manageability Kit, a service that makes it easy for individuals or companies to run their hardware remotely. WIth the HP Manageability Kit, the steps needed to create and manage images are simplified making managing hardware remotely, BIOs and Microsoft Center Configuration manager a breeze.
