HPE trusted supply chain expands to worldwide customers

[marksimpkins]

Make security your superpower now! HPE extends its supply chain security leadership with an option for production of our most popular product lines globally.  

Building on the foundation of our current secure supply chain, HPE is now offering an option for production of our most popular product lines globally, including many industry-leading HPE ProLiant servers with Intel and AMD innovations.

“Our original HPE Trusted Supply Chain program was successful in hardening servers in our U.S. factory, so we challenged ourselves to deliver the capability of hardening servers in other key global operations” said HPE Global Server Security Product Manager Cole Humphreys. “Having regional shipping options in addition to U.S. factory shipping gives customers and partners local choices without having to compromise.”

Many organizations often believe that the security health of their IT begins once they receive, turn on and operate their IT equipment. What they may not realize is the security journey of their IT products begins prior to their possession: in transit while when it’s being shipped to them, or even on the factory floor where it’s being built.

HPE ProLiant server security optimization services

Transform what can be an Achille’s heel into a solid keystone of your company’s secure foundation with HPE Server Security Optimized Service for HPE ProLiant.

Server security starts with corruption-free server manufacturing and auditing the integrity of every component (including hardware and firmware). By adding this optional security upgrade intended for organizations with enhanced security and compliance needs, you can ensure that the server begins its lifecycle uncompromised.

Applying this option to an HPE ProLiant DL3XX Gen10/Gen10 Plus CTO server ensures it is hardened by turning on advanced safeguards in place against cyber-exploits throughout the server lifecycle. An iLO Advanced License required for High Security Mode and compatible intrusion detection device option kits are prerequisites for the full optimization service.
