HP Inc. Introduces Integrated Security Offering
May 12 2021 - 7:00AM
HP Inc. (NYSE: HPQ) today introduced HP Wolf Security, a newly
integrated portfolio of secure by design PCs and printers,
hardware-enforced endpoint security software, and endpoint security
services to protect customers from growing cyber threats.3 HP Wolf
Security’s Blurred Lines & Blindspots report, also released
today, highlights that the global volume of cyberattacks has
increased 238% during Covid, with hackers particularly focused on
targeting remote workers. The company’s new HP Wolf Security
platform builds on over 20 years of security research and
innovation to offer a unified portfolio for customers focused on
delivering comprehensive endpoint protection and cyber-resiliency.
“The future of work will be more distributed than ever before, with
a growing number of people working from multiple locations outside
the office. This will unlock exciting new opportunities for greater
mobility, but it also creates new vulnerabilities,” said Joanna
Burkey, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), HP Inc.HP Wolf
Security’s Blurred Lines & Blindspots report reveals that
endpoints connected to the internet were experiencing 1.5 attacks
per minute globally in 2020. As a result, 91% of IT decision makers
surveyed said they spend more time on endpoint security now than
two years ago, with a further 91% reporting that endpoint security
has become just as important as network security.HP has long been a
leader in PC and printer security. By uniting the company’s
security offerings into a single platform for customers, HP is
addressing a growing customer need for comprehensive and resilient
endpoint infrastructure and cyber defense. “As the importance of
endpoint security continues to grow, we saw an opportunity to
create a more integrated offering for customers to simplify
security and stay ahead of future threats,” said Ian Pratt, Global
Head of Security, Personal Systems, HP Inc. “The leading technology
of the future will be secure by design and intelligent enough to
not simply detect threats, but to contain and mitigate their
impact, and to recover quickly in the event of a breach, which
could happen at any time, to any one of us. HP Wolf Security is a
new breed of endpoint security tailored for the future of
work.”Rooted in Zero Trust principles, HP Wolf Security harnesses
state-of-the-art technologies to reduce pressure on IT. From
self-healing firmware, in-memory breach detection and threat
containment via virtualization, to cloud-based intelligence, HP
Wolf Security delivers comprehensive protection by: shrinking the
addressable attack surface; enabling remote recovery from firmware
attacks; enhancing threat data collection; and delivering high
fidelity alerts.
The newly integrated HP Wolf Security portfolio is categorized
by:
- HP Wolf Security for Home4 includes a set of built-in security
features for select consumer PCs as well as HP Wolf Essential
Security software and services. HP Wolf Essential Security is
included on select home printers.
- HP Wolf Security for Business5
includes a portfolio of hardware-enforced security features,
included with every business PC purchase, designed for businesses
of all sizes.
- HP Wolf Pro Security, devices,
software and services6 for small to mid-sized businesses.
- HP Wolf Enterprise Security,
devices, software and services for enterprises and

HP adds Sure Access
Enterprise8 to HP Wolf Enterprise
Security to Defend Mission-Critical Applications from Cyber
threatsNew to HP Wolf Enterprise Security is Sure Access
Enterprise, which applies HP’s unique isolation technology to
ensure critical applications are completely safeguarded from any
malware lurking on a user’s PC. HP Sure Access creates
hardware-enforced micro-virtual machines (VM) that can protect key
applications – forming a virtual air gap between the application
and the host PC. The application and data is securely isolated from
the host OS, and any malicious actors that may have breached it.
This unique, hardware-enforced approach helps by:
- Securing key tasks such as remote
sysadmin activity of mission-critical systems.
- Allowing users to work securely on
multiple virtual Privileged Access Workstations (PAWs) on a single
device.
- Securing browser-based access of
critical applications.
HP introduces HP Wolf Pro Security
Edition9 platform for small and
mid-sized businesses HP redefines PC security for small
and mid-sized customers with the announcement of HP Wolf Pro
Security. HP Wolf Pro Security integrates Threat Containment based
on micro-virtualization, Malware Prevention based on Next-Gen
Anti-Virus, and Identity Protection – all integrated with HP’s
hardware security capabilities to deliver superior protection that
is simple for IT to acquire, deploy and operate.
- Threat Containment
raises the bar in endpoint protection by providing protection that
doesn’t rely on detection. Hardware-powered micro-virtualization
performs full isolation of threats delivered via all the most
common threat vectors, without impacting user experience.
- Malware Prevention
is a complete Next-Gen AV that uses a combination of AI-based
techniques, like deep learning, and behavioral analysis to provide
advanced malware protection through predictive detection.
- Identity Protection
provides defense against credential phishing attacks for all
popular browsers.
- Integrated with HP’s
built-in hardware security capabilities such as
Application Persistence, OS Resiliency and Physical Tamper
Protection.
Today, HP also announced a new Flexworker offering with HP Wolf
Security that allows IT departments to boost workforce productivity
while helping to protect corporate networks and data. This new
extended Managed Print Service (MPS) allows IT departments to arm
hybrid workers with secure, company-approved printers that can be
monitored and automatically remediated if a device falls out of
compliance with corporate policies. In addition, HP Wolf Essential
Security is included with HP+ smart printers, with 24-7 built-in
Security. HP+ printers with Smart Security help consumers and small
businesses stay two steps ahead of hackers, helping to prevent
potential malware attacks and stop your information from ending up
in the wrong hands. To support the launch of HP Wolf Security, HP
has created a series of creative videos, depicting common security
scenarios that have come about due to the shift to remote working
during the pandemic. These include: a child clicking on a phishing
link when using a parent’s laptop, a compromised printer being used
to send malicious spam to the rest of the company, and an IT team
being blindsided by a cyberattack. These videos, starring Christian
Slater as ‘The Wolf’ – who walks the line between good and bad,
putting to use his hacker mindset to show how an attacker might
operate – help to demonstrate the impact of such events.
