HP Outlines Strategy to Help Businesses Prepare for Windows 10

PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwired - Jul 13, 2015) - HP (NYSE: HPQ) today unveiled a comprehensive set of offerings -- including a unique set of devices, solutions and services -- that complement Windows 10 to deliver a deep level of security.

"Our customers have told us that security continues to be their top concern and the changes in the security landscape have them looking for ways to protect their devices and data," said Alex Cho, vice president & general manager, HP Commercial PCs. "The security features in Windows 10, coupled with our stylish and secure commercial devices -- like the thinnest, lightest and most secure business-class notebook HP EliteBook Folio 1020 -- help customers protect their organizations and maximize employee productivity in form factors users will love¹."

IT professionals are faced with managing and securing an increasingly complex and dynamic environment. Migrating to a new operating system can be a daunting prospect -- particularly for businesses -- a reason why nearly three-quarters of desktop users have a version of Windows that is almost six years old².

To help businesses address these challenges, HP developed devices that increase productivity and deliver a range of support and services. This creates an easy migration path for businesses and helps enable channel partners to drive Windows 10 adoption for commercial customers.

HP and Windows 10 Deliver Security with Confidence
Windows 10 delivers improved user features, including the return of the Start menu and an interface that easily works with both touch and non-touch devices. Whether running legacy applications or more modern apps, businesses can be confident that the overall user experience will be consistent across multiple devices and form factors.

Windows 10 also includes a host of security enhancements to address modern security threats, including Device Guard, Windows Hello and Microsoft Passport, which provide advanced malware protection and authentication across applications, data and online experiences³.

Recent high-profile security breaches bring to light the risks to businesses associated with using older hardware and software. Simultaneously, businesses are experiencing rapidly changing threats that directly target identities, access control and data and attack deeper levels of a company's infrastructure.
