HP Sure Start Gen4
Protect your PC with the hardware-enforced self-healing protection of HP Sure Start Gen4 that automatically recovers the BIOS.
Protects firmware that antivirus solutions can’t with the first and only self-healing PC BIOS. HP Sure Start Gen4 automatically self-heals the BIOS from malware, rootkits, or corruption. With Runtime Intrusion Detection and easy manageability, HP Sure Start Gen4 can help increase security, minimise downtime, and prevent costly security breaches.
BIOS Attacks are a growing threat. As our world becomes even more connected, cyber-attacks are targeting endpoint firmware and hardware with increasing frequency and sophistication.
BIOS protection is more important than ever. The BIOS is the first million lines of firmware code run by the PC when it’s turned on, and is responsible for securely booting the OS.
If malware affects the BIOS, an attacker can get unlimited control of the PC to steal valuable data, insert ransomware, or render the PC inoperable.
Because antivirus software is unable to monitor for attacks in the firmware, malware hiding in the BIOS can be virtually impossible to detect. It can also be incredibly difficult to remove, requiring the replacement of the whole motherboard, or even the entire PC.
Industry’s First Self-healing BIOS. HP Sure Start is unique, hardware-enforced BIOS protection. In the event of a malware attack on the BIOS, HP Sure Start Gen4 automatically detects the change, notifies the user and IT, and restores the most recent good version of the BIOS.
HP Sure Start identifies any unauthorised change to the BIOS – which means that it can protect against attacks the world has never seen before.
Runtime Intrusion Protection. HP Sure Start Gen4 includes a specialised runtime intrusion capability, which can detect and report changes to this critical BIOS code in runtime memory (SMM) while the OS is running. This offers enhanced protection to critical processes like virtualisation that depend on the SMM.
Manageability. HP Sure Start Gen4 gives automated protection that can be managed centrally by an IT team. Set HP Sure Start Gen4 settings remotely and monitor tamper alerts from Microsoft® SCCM through the HP Manageability Integration Kit G22 (HP MIK) plug-in.
