Introduction: HP Wolf Security is an advanced security suite from HP that protects computers and peripheral devices against cyber threats. This solution was designed for companies and individual users who demand the highest level of protection for their data and hardware. HP Wolf Security integrates hardware security features with software and services, creating multilayered defense for endpoint devices – from the microchip level to applications. Whether you work in the office, at home, or on the go, HP Wolf Security acts as a guard that blocks viruses and malware from entering your system.
Multi-layer protection: HP Wolf Security delivers multilayered security for endpoints – protecting everything from the motherboard and BIOS, through the operating system, to user applications and data. This ensures even the lowest layers of the system (firmware) are safeguarded against attacks, making HP Wolf a unique solution on the market.
Threat isolation (Sandboxing): A unique feature of HP Wolf Security is its use of isolation technology for potential threats. For example, HP Sure Click opens suspicious files and websites in isolated, virtual environments. Even if the attachment or website contains malware, it is contained and neutralized before any damage occurs. This hardware-assisted virtualization provides effective protection even against unknown threats.
BIOS and hardware protection: Devices equipped with HP Wolf Security feature technologies such as HP Sure Start (a self-healing BIOS), which defends against firmware attacks. If BIOS integrity is compromised, the device automatically restores a secure image. This prevents attackers from taking control of the system at the lowest level and guards against persistent threats.
Always-on background protection: HP Wolf Security works continuously without interfering with user activity. Security updates, threat scans, behavioral analysis – all happen automatically. Users can work as usual while the system ensures protection in the background, without impacting performance or user experience.
Print security: HP Wolf Security protects not just computers but also HP printers. HP business printers include built-in security mechanisms (firmware validation, real-time intrusion detection, port protection, etc.). This ensures the print infrastructure is just as secure as the computers – an often-overlooked attack vector. Wolf Security integrates print security management, including features like secure printing (print after user authentication) and fleet threat monitoring.
Endpoint security software: HP Wolf Security includes a suite of tools to protect the system, such as HP Sure Sense (AI-powered next-gen antivirus), HP Sure Click (browser and file isolation), HP Sure Run (monitors and restarts critical processes), and HP Sure Recover (restores the system from a verified image after severe compromise).
Hardware security features: The latest HP Pro, Elite, and Z devices come with embedded security chips (e.g., TPM 2.0, DriveLock encryption), as well as unique HP features like Embedded Controller that monitors the chassis and lid sensors. These hardware components integrate with Wolf Security, creating a sealed security ecosystem that’s hard to penetrate.
Business management console: For corporate environments, HP Wolf Security provides a central management console (HP Wolf Security Controller). IT administrators can monitor all devices, receive reports on detected and blocked threats, and remotely configure security policies. This streamlines security management and allows incidents to be instantly identified and handled.
HP support and updates: The service includes regular software updates and access to HP’s security support. When new threats emerge (e.g., ransomware outbreaks), HP provides patches and configuration guidance to keep your devices resilient. Businesses can count on HP experts for incident analysis and strengthening their security posture.
