Unique layers of protection, securing endpoints from the chip to the cloud

Explore frequently asked questions regarding our end-to-end IT architecture, enterprise deployment, and security operations.

Full-stack Protection

Unlike alternatives that only protect above the operating system, HP takes a full-stack approach. HP Wolf Security builds security layer by layer, from motherboard hardware and firmware, through the OS, to application execution.

Endpoint Isolation

Revolutionary endpoint micro-virtualization stops malware, phishing and ransomware, and protects privileged user remote access. It relies on Intel and AMD CPUs for hardware enforcement, so that malware can't get around it.

Full-stack protection with HP devices

BIOS Firmware Lock

BIOS/Firmware

Fundamental controls protect the firmware layer from the rise in targeted attacks below the OS: code integrity, configuration security, and vulnerability management.

Endpoint Isolation that protects your entire fleet

Micro-virtual Machines

Potentially risky tasks are run in micro-virtual machines, preventing attacks from infecting machines without impacting user productivity.

Application level isolation

Application-level Isolation

Sensitive privileged-user applications are isolated from threats, even if the OS is compromised. Access to sensitive data and systems can be performed using general-purpose PCs, with decreased risk of attack propagation across security domains.
