Today’s work/lifestyle is connected,
connecting and converged. Sixty-two
percent 1 of employees report working
regularly from more than one location,
65 percent 2 say they collaborate multiple
times a day, and 81 percent 3 report that
work activities happen during personal
time. And, perhaps not surprisingly,
entertainment activities on work personal
computers (PCs) have doubled. These
trends are bound to continue; the workforce
will be 50 percent 4 millennials by 2020,
and 88 percent 5 of millennials report
wanting this work/life integration.
As remote work and collaboration
solutions have become more productive
and mainstream, physical environments
are evolving to maximize the interaction
and immediacy an office space can and
should provide, including:
» A
 gile workspaces designed for
individual productivity
» I  nformal meeting areas encouraging
co-creation and conversation

those changes will continue to transform
our personal and work environments. The
modern office is evolving in keeping with
patterns and trends emerging among
workers. The physical buildings and firewalls
that reliably kept people and assets safely
inside and security threats outside are being
transformed by an altogether more porous
and flexible workspace often described as
“anytime, anywhere.”
Securing a vibrant, mobilized, distributed
workplace is more challenging and more
critical than ever before. It is a challenge
that has consistently driven HP’s long history
of industry leadership in creating security
innovation and standards. We produce some
of the world’s most secure and manageable
personal systems and printers today, and our
drive to improve security across the spectrum
of devices never rests. We’re designing
systems and devices for cyber-resilience,
with security built in from the ground up to
help protect, detect and remediate attacks—
with minimal interruption to users. We keep
reinventing security to better meet
the needs of the changing workplace—
today’s and tomorrow’s. This means
designing security from the very ground up,
right into the hardware of our devices: from
