HP Outlines Strategy to Help Businesses Prepare for Windows 10Company to deliver hardware, solutions and services to support new operating system
PALO ALTO, Calif., July 13, 2015 HP today unveiled a comprehensive set of offerings including a unique set of devices, solutions and services that complement Windows 10 to deliver a deep level of security.
Our customers have told us that security continues to be their top concern and the changes in the security landscape have them looking for ways to protect their devices and data, said Alex Cho, vice president & general manager, HP Commercial PCs. The security features in Windows 10, coupled with our stylish and secure commercial devices like the thinnest, lightest and most secure business-class notebook HP EliteBook Folio 1020 help customers' protect their organizations and maximize employee productivity in form factors users will love1.
IT professionals are faced with managing and securing an increasingly complex and dynamic environment. Migrating to a new operating system can be a daunting prospect particularly for businesses a reason why nearly three-quarters of desktop users have a version of Windows that is almost six years old2.
To help businesses address these challenges, HP developed devices that increase productivity and deliver a range of support and services. This creates an easy migration path for businesses and helps enable channel partners to drive Windows 10 adoption for commercial customers.
HP and Windows 10 Deliver Security with Confidence
Windows 10 delivers improved user features, including the return of the Start menu and an interface that easily works with both touch and non-touch devices. Whether running legacy applications or more modern apps, businesses can be confident that the overall user experience will be consistent across multiple devices and form factors.
Windows 10 also includes a host of security enhancements to address modern security threats, including Device Guard, Windows Hello and Microsoft Passport, which provide advanced malware protection and authentication across applications, data and online experiences3.
Recent high-profile security breaches bring to light the risks to businesses associated with using older hardware and software. Simultaneously, businesses are experiencing rapidly changing threats that directly target identities, access control and data and attack deeper levels of a company's infrastructure.
One area that remains a potential attack vector is the root, or BIOS: a privileged piece of software generally ignored by users, and if compromised undetectable by anti-virus software. Attacks on the BIOS have given hackers free reign over the system, including the installation of key logging software and other nefarious activity.
Today, HP has the industry's only self-healing BIOS-level protection with HP Sure Start. This solution checks the BIOS before the operating system boots to ensure the BIOS has not been tampered with and resets the BIOS to its original state if an issue has been detected.
Windows 10 provides new capabilities optimized for modern business needs including enterprise-grade security, identity and information protection, said Nick Parker, CVP, OEM Division, Microsoft. HP's innovation around security, particularly with BIOS-level security found in HP Sure Start, provides an additional layer of protection for their hardware and sensitive data.
Available on HP's Elite line of notebooks and HP ZBooks, HP Sure Start combines with Device Guard in Windows 10 Enterprise to secure HP devices at the OS- and BIOS-level against security threats posed by viruses and malware attacks. This technology quickly restores productivity and reduces IT help calls in the event of a BIOS attack or corruption.
Identity and data automation and security policy management are vital areas businesses can invest in to make sure their information and assets are protected. To address these areas, HP offers several security and manageability solutions for businesses, including:
HP Client Security, a suite of pre-installed, integrated solutions that delivers out-of-the box functionality for IT to easily manage and deploy endpoint protection. This offering is designed to safeguard devices by controlling access to ports and storage devices, including disk encryption; preventing unauthorized access to hard drives; and protecting user identities via password protection and user rights management.
Multi-factor authentication for ease in enrolling and managing a variety of options for device and system sign-on. HP's credential support includes passwords, smart cards, Bluetooth , PIN and fingerprint matching performed inside the hardware, making it hard for rogue software to compromise the biometric match. The majority of HP's commercial notebooks include hardened fingerprint readers, which gives a more secure input option for Windows Hello than non-hardened fingerprint readers.
HP Touchpoint Manager strengthens and simplifies enforcement of security and mobility policies by enabling organizations to deploy a single, unified security model across PCs and mobile devices4. This means that apps, security policies and out-of-date software can be automatically updated and alert IT when something has been compromised or an issue is detected.
HP's 2015 commercial portfolio was designed with Windows 10 in mind, which is important to enterprise customers who build their own corporate image to install on devices. For customers planning to re-image devices to the new operating system, HP has made this process as seamless as possible. Beginning in mid-August into October, the company's existing commercial offerings will ship with the option of Windows 10 pre-installed.
HP devices available with Windows 10 include:
