Why join HP Wolf Security

HP Wolf Security is central to HPs strategy in the PC market with security designed into hardware firmware and software. This integrated approach enables HP to differentiate through builtin enterprisegrade protection and manageability. This role sits at the heart of that strategy helping deliver the tools that allow customers to deploy manage and trust secure PCs at scale. The primary focus of the HP Wolf Security teamis developing cyber security solutions to protect our customersdevices and data. The digital threat landscape is ever-changing and as the cyber security industry reacts and adapts to changes so too do the malware unique micro-virtualization technology ensures that customers are protected from even the most bleeding edge cyber security threats. That micro-virtualization technology forms a key pillar in a wider cyber security suite that were actively developing.

Our history:

Inspired by the isolation principles of traditional virtualization our team known then as Bromium created a game-changing technology called micro-virtualization to protect end users against advanced malware. Every task the user performs such as opening a document or clicking on a link is isolated in its own micro-VM with access to just the resources required for that task and existing just for the life of the task. Protection is thus provided through isolation without relying on detection hence reliably defending the user from polymorphic and even zero-day malware.

Bromium was acquired by HP Inc on 19 September 2019 forming HP Wolf Security.
