Integrated security features
The HP Insight Software Getting Started Guide lists security considerations and best practices
recommended by HP. Review that information to ensure you have implemented an appropriate
security solution for your environment.
The following features have been integrated into Systems Insight Manager and Insight Control
to make them secure:
•
Browser Connections
Systems Insight Manager enforces a secure HTTPS connection to the web browser.
•
User Names and Passwords
A Systems Insight Manager administrator has total flexibility to configure user accounts

Digital signature
HP software, firmware, drivers, applications, and other executables are delivered with an
electronic cryptographic signature. This electronic signature gives you an industry standard
method to verify the integrity and authenticity of the code you have received before you
deploy it.
This digital signature is used in a signature verification process as follows:
— To verify and validate the authenticity of the code; that is, that HP created the code in
question.
— To verify and validate the integrity of the code; that is, that the code in question was
not altered since it was originally signed by HP.
See the HP Insight Software Getting Started Guide at
for additional security recommendations.
