We've seen a constant change in Alert Levels in several parts of our country for the last few months. This has affected how we work – from the WFH setup to reporting back to the office to switching to a more flexible hybrid setup.

With the ever-changing times we're living in right now, it's essential to have the right tools to adapt to any setup. The first on my list is to have a reliable and secure device that will keep my productivity going and, at the same time, give me the confidence to work from anywhere. So I chose the HP ProBook 455 G8 PC Notebook.

Despite being lightweight and compact, this HP ProBook laptop is built with commercial-grade security features that protect the device's BIOS, files, and everything in between. Especially with BIOSphere Gen5, the device is equipped with enhanced firmware protection that safeguards it from cyberattacks from the moment it is turned on. Likewise, the HP Sure Start Gen6, the world's first self-healing BIOS, will automatically recover corrupted files and safely restart the BIOS after an attack.

Here are the other benefits of having a secure laptop that can further increase productivity:

Stress-free work with a more protected login Don't let other people meddle with confidential files. The HP Client Security Manager Gen6 allows me to use the fingerprint sensor built in the HP ProBook 455 G8 laptop to log into Windows and websites. Another option is to set up the HP Sure Admin, a feature that creates a unique digital signature to directly manage BIOS settings, either from a PC or through the HP Sure Admin smartphone app.

The HP ProBook 455 G8 is a sleek and compact laptop with commercial-grade security features, including the HP BIOSphere Gen5 and HP Sure Start Gen6, the world’s first self-healing BIOS system.

Important documents are safe and sound With online file sharing already being the norm in today's digital workplace, it's crucial to keep personal and business-related documents safe from viruses and hackers, especially if users work remotely. For added protection, HP Sure Click opens all files, applications, and web pages in the safe confines of micro VM containers to trap and isolate malware before it even damages the device.

Work more efficiently with highly adept security features like HP Sure Click, which keeps files safe from cyberattacks, and HP Sure Sense, which uses deep-learning AI to find and neutralize both malware and ransomware.

Upgraded processes Bugs and other systematic issues can hinder work, so the HP ProBook has made it easier for me to update the BIOS via the Network to help resolve them. Also, with viruses becoming more advanced, HP Sure Sense ensures that malware and ransomware would be neutralized using its deep-learning AI. These upgraded processes will make work smoother and faster and protect the device from unexpected damages caused by these constantly evolving online threats.

I can now get more work done without worrying much about malware and cyber-attacks while using the HP ProBook 455 G8 PC Notebook. I am now more confident in keeping my device safe with its reliable security features.

I got my unit from an authorized HP reseller, but it's also available from the HP official store in Lazada and Shopee.
