HP refers to this as “visual hacking” and in partnership with 3M, they have designed a groundbreaking new integrated privacy screen known as “Sure View”. Sure View is integrated with HP Elitebook 840 and 1040 laptops. It eliminates the need to stick an additional privacy filter onto your screen, obscuring the view of your screen from prying eyes. The freedom to work remotely and on mobile technology comes with the risk of exposing private and confidential data. This new technology diminishes risk allowing you to work confidently on your laptop in cafes, travelling on planes, buses, trains, or in other public spaces. The technology is quick and easy to enable. With the press of a button your screen darkens, making it difficult for others to view at a 35 degree angle, from either side, while your view remains unchanged. In an age where mobile technology and working in public spaces are common place, this innovation brings peace of mind by protecting the privacy of the data you’re working with. 4 tips to working securely in public domains 1.
