THE BIGGEST ADVANTAGE THE
ADVERSARY HAS IS THE BEHAVIOR OF
YOUR OWN USERS.
More than 70% of enterprise breaches are triggered by
users working with a PC.1 Of those breaches, more than
99% are executed through email, web, chat, or USB.2
And 99% of those require user engagement, meaning
the user clicks or is phished by bad actors.3

But with HP Sure Click Enterprise,4 email, web, chat, and
USB breaches are easily preventable. It provides a virtual
safety net for PC users, even when unknown threats slip
past other defenses. Hardware-enforced virtualization
isolates high-risk content to protect user PCs, data,
and credentials, rendering malware harmless, while IT
gets actionable threat intelligence to help strengthen
organizational security posture.

executable files, and more.

In an attempt to mitigate these vectors, enterprises have
implemented cloud, network, and endpoint controls,
including cloud CASB and cloud AV along with network
AV, sandboxing, and security analytics. On the endpoint
front, enterprises have implemented endpoint antivirus
programs, application whitelisting, and endpoint
detection and response (EDR). To protect against those

The reason the enterprise is just one click away from breach is the relationship between the end user and the
malicious content. In science, specifically the concept of causality, one event (a cause) contributes to the production
of another event (an effect). In cybersecurity—and specifically around Sure Click Enterprise—the cause is the user/
human error, and the effect is the consequences following an errant click.

By removing the cause, meaning the potential for human error, from the environment, ALL effects are eliminated.They
are eliminated because of their dependency upon human behavior extending the attack sequence into the enterprise.

Sure Click Enterprise is what removes the cause from the equation. Sure Click Enterprise places each user task
(e.g., opening an email attachment) in an isolated micro virtual machine (micro VM). This prevents malware from
escaping the task it arrived in, so it can’t infect the user’s computer, or anything else on the network. And when the
process is completed, the micro VM is destroyed, along with the malware. Best of all, user productivity is unaffected,
as users don’t have to do anything differently to gain the threat containment benefit of Sure Click Enterprise.

                                                 YOUR ENDPOINT

                         HP Sure Click Enterprise application isolation renders any malware or lurking malicious actors harmless
                         to your users’ PCs and your network.

         With the cause removed, there’s: Nothing to steal > Nowhere to go > No way to persist.
         With the potential for human error removed, the attacker’s enabler is removed. It’s as if
