Resource protection

You can reduce disruptions and improve overall availability by using trusted platforms that deliver the highest levels of security certification and protection. You can also manage and control access to information assets and provide continuous protection in a changing environment. We offer a layered approach to security that ranges from the assessment of your environment and design of your security architecture, to operating systems that run your servers, to the service professionals and software that helps you manage your business processes.

HP’s resource protection portfolio can help you manage and control access to information assets and provide continuous protection in a changing environment.

• Advanced platform security solutions for our operating environments, including HP-UX:
  
  
  • Encrypted Volume and File System – an operating system-based data encryption solution that helps ensure the confidentiality of critical business information by transparently protecting “data-at-rest.” The system automatically encrypts data on storage devices to prevent unauthorized use of data obtained through theft. It also allows customers to retain existing storage devices with no additional storage upgrades or modifications.
    
    
  • HP Security Containment for HP-UX 11i is a suite of security technologies designed to dramatically reduce the likelihood of system compromise. HP incorporates these enhanced security features into the mainstream HP-UX 11i operating environment to help businesses combat increasingly complex threats. Without requiring modification to applications, HP Security Containment isolates compromised applications, which are denied unauthorized access to other applications or files on the system.
