Support Service

Care Pack, part of HP Care

Service benets

Life cycle security

Apply a layer of security across the entire
life cycle of each device and receive alerts

if specic conditions occur. Some examples

include securing new devices in transit; validating
end users; and performing hardware/software
inventories, blacklisted applications and

certied end-of-life data delete protocols.

Risk assessment

Monitor device activity and status, and receive

alerts if specic conditions occur. Examples

include non-compliant device location; the
status of complementary security technologies
such as encryption, anti-malware and SCCM;

oine device control; blacklisted applications;

and rogue employees.

Risk response

Remotely invoke security commands and

other measures to avoid a signicant security
incident. Some examples include end-user

messaging, locking a device until its status
is conrmed, denitive proof that endpoint
data and corporate networks were not
accessed while a device was at risk, remote
retrieval and deletion of endpoint data, chain
of custody, and endpoint investigations.

provides a reliable two-way connection, so you can condently manage mobility, investigate

potential threats and take action if a security incident occurs. The ability to communicate with
endpoints – regardless of user or location – means that you can receive timely device and event
information. Most importantly, you can apply remote security measures to protect each device
and the data it contains. No other technology can do this. For a complete listing of HP devices

Feature Delivery specications

Capability overview Depending on the Absolute DDS Support Service purchased,

the following features may apply:

Repor ting and analytics Collect highly accurate information from each device, including

historical data, and determine what is installed on a device. Identify
events and ac tivities that could be precursors to a security incident,
including changes to IP address, location and user; non-compliant

software/hardware installations; and more. Receive a notication

if these activities occur.

™

Geotechnology Track assets on Google Maps

, including recent and historical
locations. Create geofences based on corporate policies, and
investigate devices that are out of bounds or entering an
unauthorised location.

Risk assessment Identify risk conditions and receive a notication if these conditions

occur. Key security data integrates automatically with security

information and event management (SIEM) solutions. Validate

the status of complementary security applications such as

encryption, anti-malware and System Centre Conguration

Manager (SCCM). Use these reports to prove to auditors that
security measures were properly implemented and in place at
the time of a security incident.

Risk response Remotely recover or delete data. Set policies to ensure oine

devices are automatically protected. Freeze a device and
communicate with the user to verify status. Produce an audit
log to prove that data on a compromised device was properly

secured, not accessed and safely deleted. Use certied data
delete workows to decommission a device.

Endpoint investigations Leverage the Absolute Investigations team to determine the

cause of an endpoint security incident. Identify and eliminate

insider threats. Rene best practices so the same incident does

not reoccur. Determine if data was accessed during an incident,
and whether or not a data breach notication is required.
Recover stolen devices.

Device Theft Investigation &

Recovery

Leverage the Absolute Investigations team to determine the
cause of an endpoint security incident, identify and eliminate
insider threats, rene security best practices, and determine
if data was accessed during an incident, and whether or not a

data breach notication is required.

Healthcare Endpoint
Investigations

Leverage the HealthCare Information Security and Privacy
Practitioners (HCISPPs) and ASIS Certied Protection Professionals
(CPPs) on the Absolute Investigations team to determine the
cause of an endpoint security incident. Identify and eliminate
insider threats. Rene best practices so the same incident does
not reoccur. Determine if data was accessed during an incident,

and whether or not a data breach notication is required.

Absolute Safe Schools Absolute Safe Schools is an integrated programme that works

in conjunction with existing Absolute theft recovery technology.
Overseen by the Absolute Investigations team, Absolute Safe

Schools can help keep students, school environments and
devices safe.

Software Asset Reports Collect incredibly accurate information from each device,

including historical data. Determine what is installed on a
device to ensure compliance.

Security Reports Identify risk conditions and receive a notication if these conditions

occur. Key security data integrates automatically with SIEM solutions.
Validate the status of complementary securit y applications such

as encr yption, anti-malware and SCCM. Use these reports to prove
to auditors that security measures were properly implemented
and in place at the time of a security incident.

Geofencing Create geofences based on organisational policies and receive

analert to investigate devices that are out of bounds or entering
an unauthorised location.
