Toshiba Tecra S3 Notebook with EasyGuard Technology

The Toshiba Tecra S3 notebook incorporates specially made shock-absorbing materials with advanced security technology that helps to defend the notebook against unauthorized access, data theft and virtual attacks.





The protection comes in three layers. On the first, the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), there is an embedded security chipset and software application that stores encryption keys, passwords and user credentials to ensure that data cannot be accessed or seen by anyone but an authorized user.

The second layer consists of an integrated biometric fingerprint reader, which allows the user to replace typing in the login information with a swipe of their finger to access the notebook.

As a third layer, Toshiba offers an accessory called HDLock for Toshiba notebooks, which combines a USB A-Key along with a personal password to act as the key to the notebook. HDLock for Toshiba notebooks helps ensure the hard drive remains encrypted and inaccessible at system boot-up, hibernation or shut-down to anyone but the owner of the unique A-Key and password.
