The result is an evolving and transforming workplace with more than 62 per cent of employees working from more than one location8and 65 per cent collaborating multiple times a day9. Now more than ever, businesses need to provide their employees with technology that powers productivity, inspiration, and the exchange of ideas.

Reinventing Endpoint Security

In a world of rapidly evolving malware, unprecedented numbers of ransomware attacks, and increasing firmware threats, every organisation should plan for hardware-based endpoint resiliency. There are over 350,000 new varieties of malware discovered every day10, much of it around highly destructive ransomware, mandating a new generation of defence against rapidly evolving threats. Adding powerful frontline defence, HP Sure Sense1harnesses the power of deep learning AI to provide real-time detection and prevention of zero-day threats coupled with behavioural detection of ransomware activity, all with minimal impact to system performance. 

HP Sure Sense1will be available on the new HP EliteBook 800 G6 series, as well as the HP ZBook 14u and HP ZBook 15u. The HP EliteBook 800 G6 series also includes HP’s Endpoint Security Controller which powers HP Sure Start, the world’s only self-healing BIOS15, for protection against firmware attacks, and the optional HP Sure Recover with Embedded Reimaging, to quickly reduce system software recover. Finally, HP’s updated portfolio includes optional HP Sure View Gen316, the latest generation of HP’s award-winning integrated privacy screen.
